MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR 2A DAY EVENTS!
2A LOBBY DAY 2024!
Mark your calendars NOW! The 2024 IFC 2A Lobby Day is scheduled for January 18th. This year it’s going to be in the morning, from 9:00 a.m. – Noon, at the Iowa State Capitol Building. By holding the event in the morning, this will give you more time to actually meet with your legislators that day. Our special guest speaker is Gabby Franco: Olympian, Top Shot contender, firearms instructor, author and more. She has an amazing story to tell.
This free event also provides an opportunity to learn about current proposed 2A legislation in Iowa and to meet with your elected representatives at the Capitol. Arrive at 9:00 a.m. to meet IFC’s Sponsors, and some of our Trusted Partners to see what they have to offer. The official program is from 10:00 – Noon.

ANNUAL IFC-PAC DINNER EVENT!
Capping off the 2024 IFC 2A Day events is the IFC-PAC dinner, which will feature a prime rib supper. After the meal, you will have an opportunity to hear more about Gabby’s compelling story of escaping from an oppressive government regime and immigrating to the USA to become a U.S. citizen. She tells her story widely, to warn people about the gradual erosion of gun rights. Gabby is recognized internationally for her shooting skills and is an inspiring woman in the 2A community. There is so much to Gabby’s life story that you will be left amazed & inspired!
Also, (our members asked for it) and we are moving the IFC-PAC dinner event to a bigger venue this year! It will be held at the Za-Ga-Zig Shrine in Altoona, located at 1100 Shriners Pkwy, Altoona, IA, 50009, with convenient access from Interstate 80. Doors open at 5:30pm; dinner starts at 7pm.
Purchase your tickets for the IFC-PAC Dinner at this link. Don’t wait! Tickets are going fast.
As always, we will have raffles and door prizes! My special thanks to our IFC Events Coordinator, Eric Hansen, for his work to make this a great event.
This event is a way to help IFC-PAC to protect your 2A Rights to remain Ready at All Times.
I look forward to meeting each and every one of you at IFC 2A Day and the IFC PAC Dinner that evening.

Iowa Firearms Coalition presents this Sponsor Spotlight and welcomes Volquartsen Firearms as a Sponsor of IFC’s Annual 2A Day. Events like these wouldn’t be possible without key sponsors to help us provide speakers and infrastructure to put on an informative and vital day for Iowans each year at the Capitol.
“The progress made in Iowa is due primarily to days like this. The IFC is constantly at the forefront of protecting our Second Amendment rights in the State of Iowa. The 2A Lobby Day is an effective way for the IFC to promote its message directly to our lawmakers. We’re proud to partner with the IFC to highlight the importance of their work in keeping Second Amendment rights front and center in Iowa.”
Scott Volquartsen, President
Here’s a little bit about Volquartsen that you need to know – an Iowa company and proud! For over 30 years, Volquartsen Firearms has made rimfire their focus. This focus drives innovation and desire for shooters to reimagine what rimfires are capable of. Volquartsen firearms are manufactured and precision-built from start to finish, exclusively in Carroll, Iowa. The full line of Volquartsen products have become some of the most sought after in the industry. Trusted by competition shooters, plinkers, hunters, and everyone in between. Here’s more information, from their site:
Volquartsen believes that no one needs another standard anything. They hold themselves to a higher standard, tenaciously pushing forward with an unwavering persistence to improve the look and performance of firearms.
The business was originally established in 1974. By the mid-1980s, Volquartsen decided to take the business “full-time.”. He worked on all makes and models of firearms, and was fortunate enough to have several articles appear in major firearms publications in the late 1980s. In 1989, he had the honor of appearing on the cover of American Handgunner. This started a demand that would change the course of their business.
Early in 1991, Volquartsen decided to narrow his focus and channel his energy into one area. He saw potential in the rimfire market, and through sheer determination he began to lay the foundation for what Volquartsen Firearms has become today.
Support the businesses that support you – buy from them! IFC’s Annual 2A Day is possible because Volquartsen chipped in! Locate Volquartsen and follow them here: Volquartsen Firearms
