Last weekend, Gun Owners of America (GOA) held its inaugural Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (G.O.A.L.S) in Knoxville, Tennessee, and to call it a success would be an understatement.

G.O.A.L.S is a conference combining 120,000 square feet of floor space with the latest firearms technology, meetups, talks from gun rights advocates, and classes for the public. The conference was held at the Knoxville Convention Center, which is usually a gun-free zone, but GOA was able to convince the city to allow attendees to carry firearms.
The title sponsor for the event was Brownells. Founder Pete Brownell was in attendance himself and chose to sponsor the event because he believes in the mission of GOA, which is being the no-compromise gun lobby. Brownells has expanded its partnership with the gun rights organization to help spread the gospel of the Second Amendment.

“When we were asked, we jumped at the opportunity to help this organization push the Second Amendment in the right direction and represent individual rights,” Brownell said. We jumped on the momentum GOA is having and wanted to be part of the success.”
