2013 Firearms Law & The Second Amendment Symposium

Friday, August 30, 2013

The 2013 NRA "Firearms Law & The Second Amendment Symposium" will be held on Saturday, October 12th, at The University of Denver.

Focusing on recent developments in our nation's courts and legislatures regarding the Second Amendment, speakers will discuss and debate current Second Amendment developments and related issues.  The symposium will feature top Second Amendment scholars and attorneys discussing topics that range from the history of the Second Amendment to current Second Amendment litigation in Colorado and across the nation, to the nuts and bolts of legal practice in both defending and advancing gun owners' civil rights.

This event promises to present a thought-provoking discussion of one of the most relevant and important freedoms in the Bill of Rights. Each registrant will receive valuable information including panelists' written materials on their respective subjects- an excellent source for future reference.  For guests who are attorneys, this year's event may once again meet state requirements for continuing legal education. The event, including all materials, food and beverages, is free.
