Get to Know Our Speaker

Dudley Brown is a prominent American gun rights advocate, lobbyist, and firearms instructor with over three decades of experience. He founded Rocky Mountain Gun Owners in 1996 as a “no compromise” grassroots organization and has led the National Association for Gun Rights since 2007, growing it into the second-largest national gun advocacy group.  Brown is known for his aggressive lobbying tactics, frequent legal action, and direct engagement with state legislatures and courts nationwide.  Under his leadership, NAGR has outspent the NRA in political lobbying and consistently opposes any form of gun restrictions, drawing widespread media attention—appearing in outlets from The New York Times to Mother Jones.

Beyond advocacy, Dudley is a certified firearms instructor and competitive shooter who has testified before legislatures, led high-profile campaigns (e.g. support for constitutional carry and against so-called "gun control"), and amplified legal support for high-profile cases such as Kyle Rittenhouse.
