ebranded for 2019, the NRA

Personal Protection Expo will

be held at the Fort Worth

Convention Center in Fort Worth,

Texas, Sept. 6-8. Sponsored by Ruger,

Kel-Tec and Shooting Illustrated, the

three-day event will provide attendees

an intensive educational experience

featuring the skills, know-how, mindset

and products that can help everyone,

from novices to experts, improve their

readiness to deal with potential threats.

Scores of exhibitors with products

for concealed-carry, home defense and

personal protection will be present for

those looking to upgrade or expand

their everyday-carry kit as well as home

security. Equally important is the Expo’s

slate of 120 seminars covering virtually

every topic of vital interest to law-

abiding citizens taking responsibility for

their own protection. From concealed-

carry tips to edged-weapon defense to

armorer’s courses and beyond, subject-

matter experts, such as Larry Pope,

Tom Kier and more, will share their

knowledge and wisdom, making this

a must-attend show for anyone who is

determined to keep current with trends

in personal safety. Expert instruction will

also come from staffers from the NRA’s

Competitive Shooting and Education

and Training divisions, covering subjects

like situational awareness, concealed

carry techniques and lifestyle, medical

and trauma training, to name a few.

The Expo will also present a

Concealed Carry Fashion Show in which

concealment clothing and gear designed

for men and women will be modeled.

The Expo is open to the public, with

discounted rates for NRA members,

and admission is good for all three

days of the show. Most seminars are

free, but some of the longer sessions

do require an additional fee. Visit

accommodations, ticket prices, seminar

schedules and a list of exhibitors.
