Major Courtroom Wins for Gun Owners Thanks to Your Help!




John,



This year has delivered some of the most significant Second Amendment
victories in recent memory, with the Gun Owners Foundation pressing the fight
in courtrooms across the country.



Because freedom-minded Americans stepped up to support this mission, GOF
secured eight major legal wins defending the right to keep and bear arms.



With the year quickly coming to a close, a tax-deductible gift to the Gun
Owners Foundation <[link removed]>ensures we can
keep fighting—and winning—for the Second Amendment in 2026 and beyond.




Eight Landmark Legal Victories for the 2nd Amendment in 2025


1️⃣ Coast-to-Coast Carry Wins
GOF prevailed in key lawsuits in both New York and California, ending
discriminatory denials ofnon-resident concealed carry permits. Together, these
victories allow GOF members to lawfully carry from one coast to the other.



2️⃣ Huge Constitutional Carry Victory!
GOF successfully challenged Tennessee’s “going armed” statute, effectively
making the state Constitutional Carry. While the state’s Republican Attorney
General has appealed, this case puts us on the brink of a lasting expansion of
freedom in 2026.



3️⃣ Bypassing NICS
GOF compelled the ATF to reinstate “Brady Alternative” status for carry permit
holders in states such as Michigan and Alabama. Law-abiding citizens can once
again bypass redundant NICS checks—pushing back against registration-style gun
control.



4️⃣ GOF Ends DOJ’s “Zero-Tolerance” Assault on Gun Dealers
GOF litigation forced the Department of Justice to abandon the Biden-era “Zero
Tolerance” rule that punished honest gun dealers for minor clerical errors.
This victory safeguards FFLs across the country—preserving competition, access,
and consumer choice for law-abiding Americans.

5️⃣ Red Flag Scheme Declared Illegal
GOF shut down an aggressive gun-control push in Memphis, Tennessee. The court
ruled the city’s carry ban and Red Flag ordinance unlawful—memorably calling
the effort “dead as a doornail.”



6️⃣ Universal Background Check Law Defeated
After a five-year fight alongside VCDL, GOF secured a ruling striking down
Virginia’s Universal Background Check law. Private firearm sales are once again
legal—without government permission slips.



7️⃣ Florida’s Open Carry Ban Overturned
Following GOF’s legal challenge, Florida acknowledged that open carry is
protected by the Second Amendment and confirmed it will no longer enforce its
ban. This long-overdue victory restores a fundamental liberty for Floridians.



8️⃣ Missouri County Forced to Repeal Youth Handgun Ban
GOF sued Jackson County, Missouri, for violating state preemption by banning
handgun purchases for 18-to-20-year-olds. The county was forced to reverse
course and remove the unconstitutional provisions.

John, none of these victories were automatic. Each required serious legal
firepower, long hours, and the resources to see complex cases through to the
end.



And with every courtroom win, the opposition immediately looks for new ways to
undermine the Second Amendment. The next round of attacks is already taking
shape—which means the next round of legal battles must be met head-on.



Gun Owners Foundation has almost 30 active lawsuits in more than a dozen
states.



Plus, Gun Owners Foundation is still challenging the NFA in court, fighting to
remove the registration requirements for suppressors and short-barreled
firearms.



That’s why it’s critical that Gun Owners Foundation remains strong and fully
funded. To keep filing lawsuits, winning injunctions, and stopping gun control
in its tracks in 2026 and beyond,GOF needs the sustained backing of
freedom-minded Americans.



A gift to the Gun Owners Foundation is 100% tax-deductible, and it goes
straight toward the legal efforts that defend your rights.
