In this episode of Dan's Cadre of Experts, host Dan Allford sits down with guests from Gun Owners of America (GOA): John Velleco, the Executive Vice President, and Leigh Gibson, the Texas State Director. John and Leigh explain GOA's mission as the "only no compromise gun lobby" dedicated to ensuring all law-abiding Americans can fully exercise their Second Amendment rights.
We dive into GOA's recent national victories, including:

Successfully challenging two of the Biden administration's executive actions on the pistol brace rule and the "engaged in the business" rule. These wins protected Texas residents and GOA members nationwide.
Winning a lawsuit in California that allows GOA members from any state to obtain an out-of-state California concealed carry license.
Successfully advocating for the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax on items like suppressors and short-barreled rifles to be reduced from $200 to zero , which is now fueling a major lawsuit.
The conversation also covers GOA's state-level work in Texas, including the passage of laws removing short-barreled rifles from the prohibitive weapons list , enacting handgun license reciprocity with other states , and banning government gun buybacks.
Finally, John and Lee discuss their future goals, such as national reciprocity and eliminating "gun-free zones" (which they call "criminal empowerment zones"). They also share an inspiring story about GOA's involvement in arming pilots after 9/11.
