AUSTIN, TX — Gun Owners of America (GOA) Texas, in partnership with Patriot Mobile and coalition partners, proudly announces Gun Owners Lobby Day on March 11, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Texas State Capitol in Austin. This high-impact day of grassroots activism will unite gun rights advocates, legislators, and key voices in the Second Amendment community to stand strong in defense of constitutional freedoms during the 89th Texas Legislative Session.
The event will take place at the Robert E. Johnson Conference Center at 1501 N Congress Ave for check-in and registration, starting at 10:00 a.m. The kickoff rally will follow at 10:30 a.m., featuring speeches from Erich Pratt, GOA Senior Vice President; Lt. Col. Allen West; Leigh Wambsganss of Patriot Mobile; Kyle Carruth, GOA Texas Legislative Director; Stephen Willeford, GOA Spokesman; Richard Hayes II and Emily Taylor, GOA Legislative Counsel; and several invited Texas legislators, including Sen. Bob Hall and Rep. Briscoe Cain, among others.
At 1:00 p.m., the grassroots rally will take place at the Texas Capitol South Steps, with speakers including Pratt, West, Wambsganss, and bill authors. In case of inclement weather, the rally will remain at the REJ Conference Center. Following the rally, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., attendees will engage with lawmakers to advocate for pro-Second Amendment legislation and lobby for key bills to strengthen Texas gun rights.
Key legislative priorities for the event include HB 162, which aims to ban red flag laws, SB 1065 and HB 1715, which would prohibit gun-free zones on public property, and HB 170, which seeks civil liability protection for the justified use of a firearm.
The event is free and open to all Second Amendment supporters. Patriot Mobile Texas will provide buses from multiple Texas locations. To attend, register at https://txgunrights.org/gun-owner-lobby-days-2025/.
Gun Owners of America is a grassroots organization dedicated to defending Second Amendment rights with a no-compromise stance, representing millions of gun owners nationwide. Patriot Mobile, America’s only Christian conservative wireless provider, proudly sponsors this event in support of constitutional freedoms and organizations like GOA.
Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of GOA, stated:
“The Second Amendment is a right that requires active participation. Now, more than ever, it’s critical for gun owners to step up and make their voices heard in Austin. If we don’t show up, our opponents will – and they’ll do everything they can to undermine our freedoms.”
Leigh Gibson, GOA Texas State Director, added:
“This is about more than just one day of lobbying – it’s about building an unstoppable movement. Gun owners in Texas have the power to make a real difference, but that power only matters if we use it. I encourage every patriot to join us in Austin and be a part of the fight to keep Texas a stronghold for our rights.”
GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
