2A LOBBY DAY AND IFC-PAC DINNER NEXT WEEK!

2A Lobby Day and IFC-PAC Dinner are Next Week! It’s hard to believe that our 2025 Second Amendment Lobby Day and the IFC-PAC Dinner is already upon us! Amazingly, it looks like reasonable weather for Iowa in February, for a change. We really need your support, not just through your dues, but through your attendance at next week’s events. Legislators respond to numbers. More people attending tells the legislators that Iowans care about their Second Amendment rights. When many people attend our Second Amendment Lobby Day, it makes the job of IFC’s lobbyist and others working with the Legislature on your behalf, a little easier. Hopefully, I’ll meet you in Des Moines on February 18th.
