Women for Gun Rights (WGR) hosted 12 social media personalities, with more than 13 million followers at the renowned WOFT facility, just outside of Orlando, Florida, on February 20-22, 2026. 

The event was designed to introduce women outside the traditional firearms industry to hands-on education rooted in freedom-based values and personal responsibility. Representing diverse cultural backgrounds and audiences, participants received top notch scenario-based training on how to stay safer in an increasingly violent world and key information on 2nd Amendment issues. Attendees have an impressive combined reach of more than 13 million followers.

The two-day training experience included:

  • Firearm safety and live-fire instruction, from fundamentals to full-auto platforms
  • Situational awareness training to become a "hard target"
  • Carjacking survival strategies
  • Effective Communications about 2nd Amendment issues like Universal Background Checks, Red Flag Laws, and mandatory Safe Storage Laws.

For several attendees, including Brianna Riddick (@blackcarddeclined), the experience marked their first visit to a shooting range. Riddick shared: "I didn't grow up in a firearm-positive household, never visited a range before, and left with an itch to improve my skills and a newfound passion. Genuinely one of the best times I have had!"

Dianna Muller, founder of Women for Gun Rights, stated: "The exceptional training provided by WOFT is beneficial for everyone, but it is especially important for women with public platforms. These women left empowered, equipped with personal self-defense experiences, and information on Second Amendment issues they can confidently share with their audiences."

Industry Partnership Opportunities
As women continue to represent one of the fastest-growing demographics in gun ownership, opportunities are increasing for brands committed to education, safety, and responsible engagement.

Women for Gun Rights wants to thank 1st Phorm, a health and performance nutrition company for supporting the event with protein bars, energy drinks, and beef sticks. CZ-USA provided a range of compact to full-sized pistols for the live-fire training experience.

Women for Gun Rights invites manufacturers, retailers, ranges, and outdoor brands seeking meaningful engagement with women to explore partnership opportunities. Through sponsored educational initiatives, personality partnerships, and community-driven events, WGR is elevating women's voices while advancing firearm safety, advocacy, and responsible gun ownership nationwide.
