2019 Member Meeting & Legislative Session Preview

Join us at our 2019 Annual Meeting & Legislative Session for a day of reflection on the recent elections, a look back at the previous legislative session, a look ahead at the upcoming 2019 legislative session, and important training to help you become a better Second Amendment activist in 2019.

Why you should attend

This is going to be an exceptionally difficult legislative biennium over the next two years.  We have an anti-gun Governor who campaigned on significant gun control - and a deeply anti-gun House of Representatives, many of which campaigned on all sorts of crazy gun control ideas.

We're going to need a highly engaged group of members and activists in order to put the stop to these gun control efforts before they get out of the gate in the upcoming legislative session.

During the meeting, we'll be providing a number of important updates, hearing from legislators that support and defend the Second Amendment in Saint Paul, and conducting a brief activist training session at the end of the day to help prepare you to motivate your friends and neighbors, engage with legislators, and even testify before committees.

We're still finalizing the agenda, but here's an idea of what's on tap:

• 8:30am - 9:00am -- Registration / Coffee / Social Time
• 9:00am - 12:00pm -- General Session (see below for details)

• 1:00pm - 2:30pm -- General Session (see below for details)
• 2:30pm - 3:30pm -- Activist Training (optional)

We'll also have tables from several exhibitors along with many giveaways.
