NSSF is proud to bring this opportunity to SHOT Show for attendees to hear directly from those defending our freedoms in the courts.”
The 3rd Annual Attorneys General Forum, moderated by NSSF’s Keane, will be a laid back and interactive discussion with state attorneys general fighting the legal battle against politically-driven attacks against the firearm and ammunition industry and Second Amendment rights. These attorneys general are the leading law enforcement officials in their states and fight back against the wave of “lawfare” brought by special-interest gun control groups that weaponize courts against American civil liberties.
