SHOT Show Governors Forum & State Attorneys General Forum

Shot show 2025 governors forum republican second amendments firearms industry gun control

On Day 2 of SHOT Show 2025 (Wednesday), six state governors attended a notable Forum. As you might expect, ALL the governors were Republicans from “Red” states. Topics included Second Amendment rights, the importance of the firearm industry, the legislative landscape, how and why special interests threatening the firearm and ammunition industry, and how states can help sustain Second Amendment rights. We commend these state leaders for attending SHOT Show and showing concern for the interests of shooters and hunters. We hope that more Governors, including Florida’s Re DeSantis, will attend next year. And perhaps even President Trump may even head to Las Vegas in 2026.

Present at the 2025 NSSF Governors’ Forum are (in alphabetical order of states):

➣ Idaho – Governor Brad Little (Republican)
➣ Montana – Governor Greg Gianforte (Republican)
➣ Nebraska – Governor Jim Pillen (Republican)
➣ Nevada – Governor Joe Lombardo (Republican)
➣ Oklahoma – Governor Kevin Stitt (Republican)
➣ Wyoming – Governor Mark Gordon (Republican)

Along with the Governors’ Forum there was also a moderated Forum with several Attorneys General of U.S. states. This 2nd Annual State Attorneys General Forum covered legal developments to protect Second Amendment rights and the firearm industry from antigun “lawfare” attacks. The forum focused on ongoing legal battles, legal questions, and the amicus briefs these attorneys general submitted opposing threats to the Second Amendment. Members also discussed dealing with the anti-gun policies pushed by the Biden administration, and the never-ending battle against politically-driven attacks on the firearm industry and Second Amendment rights.

Attorneys General Attending the Forum included (in alphabetical order of states):

Georgia – Attorney General Chris Carr
Kansas – Attorney General Kris Kobach
Missouri – Attorney General Andrew Bailey

Montana – Attorney General Austin Knudsen
Ohio – Attorney General Dave Yost
West Virginia – Attorney General J.B. McCuskey

“The firearm industry and gun owners have true courtroom champions in these attorneys general. They are the vanguard [who fought] four years of attacks by the Biden-Harris administration against our industry and our Second Amendment rights”, said Lawrence Keane, NSSF Sr. VP & General Counsel. These attorneys general, the leading law enforcement officials in their states, fight back against the wave of “lawfare” brought by gun control groups that weaponize courts against American civil liberties.
