Why You Should Attend
The Great American Outdoor Show isn’t just an expo—it’s a gathering of America’s outdoor and Second Amendment community. Whether you want to check out the latest gear, connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, or learn from the best in the industry, this event is the perfect opportunity.
Plus, with ongoing attacks on our gun rights, it’s more important than ever to show support for the organizations and companies defending our freedoms. The NRA was absolutely instrumental in winning the landmark 2008 District of Columbia vs Heller United States Supreme Court decision that prima facie codified, through binding legal precedent, the Second Amendment as an individual right afforded to all Americans, regardless of service in a militia. Dick Heller, the Founder and Executive Director of The Heller Foundation (www.HellerFoundation.org), “I look forward to seeing you in Harrisburg for the annual gathering of fellow freedom-fighters, thanks to our friends at the NRA.”

In fact, a previous NRA-GAOS attendee highlighted, “I appreciate all of the seminars geared towards hunting and shooting techniques. As someone who has taken up hunting late in life without a mentor or family member to learn from, theses are very helpful to keep me motivated to continue.” (Source: www.GreatAmericanOutdoorShow.org)

*Please take note: The Heller Foundation is a 501 c (3) non-profit, non-partisan educational organization headquartered in our nation’s capitol in Washington, D.C. The Heller Foundation is a grassroots movement of Americans focused on education and fighting for our God-given, Constitutionally-entrenched, human right to bear arms. The Heller Foundation was founded immediately after the verdict was published on June 26, 2008 by Dick Heller, the lead-plaintiff in the landmark United States Supreme Court decision, District of Columbia vs Heller. In fact, a recent article in Rolling Stone Magazine deems Dick Heller ‘the Godfather of the Second Amendment’ (www.rollingstone.com) and, rightfully so, as Heller is the Founder and Executive Director at The Heller Foundation.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) set binding precedent as it was the first time in history that the Second Amendment was under the microscope by the United States Supreme Court. Noted by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the Heller decision affirmed that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms- unconnected with service in a militia- for traditionally lawful purposes, such as within the home and for self-defense.
Additionally, The Heller Foundation is a non-partisan organization educational, non-profit 501c(3) organization and all contributions are tax-deductible. The Heller foundation does not endorse, support or oppose propsed legislation, policies or candidates.
