Additional seminars, including a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class taught by MMA legend and hall of famer Royce Gracie, and other educational training opportunities taught by some of the best minds in the personal-defense industry, such as a seminar entitled “Current and Emerging Threats: How it Affects You,” taught by Steve Tarani, who has worked with the U.S. defense, law enforcement and intelligence communities for more than 25 years, will also be offered. Be sure to check the Carry Guard Expo website frequently for updates.

Admission for the NRA Carry Guard Expo for non-NRA members is $20. NRA members can purchase tickets at a discounted rate of $10. NRA Life members and NRA Carry Guard members receive free admission. Admission tickets guarantee entry for all three days of the show. Tickets for this one-of-a-kind event can be purchased here.

Nowhere else can you receive the best training, see the latest and greatest gear and have the opportunity to rub shoulders with like-minded citizens, all under one roof.
