Patriot Mobile was honored to participate in GOALS 2026, Gun Owners of America’s annual Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit, as the organization celebrated 50 years of defending the Second Amendment. Throughout the weekend, Patriot Mobile sponsored the official GOALS livestream, which reached more than 700,000 viewers, and supported several events focused on faith, leadership, and constitutional freedom.
The weekend began Friday evening at the Activist Society Dinner, where GOA leaders reflected on five decades of grassroots advocacy and the work still ahead. Congressman Tom McClintock reminded attendees that America is approaching a defining moment. “In the next few years, the American Republic will either enjoy a rebirth of freedom or it is going to pass into history as another failed socialist state,” he said. “That turning point is going to be coming within our lifetimes, within the next few elections.”
McClintock emphasized that the nation’s future “will not be decided by politicians or pundits,” but by citizens who remain “resolute and organized and determined and unshakable…in defense of all of our God-given actual rights that the Second Amendment exists to protect.”
On Saturday, Patriot Mobile Vice President of Strategic Partnerships Danielle Buck spoke at the DefendHER High Caliber Women’s Brunch. Buck shared how becoming a mother changed her understanding of the Second Amendment.
“If someone were to come up against me, and my little babies in the back seat, no one’s here to protect me … that shifted everything for me,” she said. Buck explained that the realization led her to become educated, seek training, and take greater responsibility for protecting her family.
She encouraged more women to become confident voices for the Second Amendment, describing it as “the great equalizer” and challenging attendees to bring friends, neighbors, and mothers into the conversation.
Later that day, Yellowstone actor and Patriot Mobile partner Forrie J. Smith visited the Patriot Mobile booth before taking the GOALS main stage to address attendees. Drawing on his upbringing in rural Montana, Smith reflected on a culture where responsible firearm ownership was simply part of everyday life. He shared stories of growing up around firearms, learning respect for them from his grandparents, and seeing them used as tools to protect family, livestock, and property. Smith closed by thanking Gun Owners of America and Patriot Mobile for their continued work defending the Second Amendment and preserving those freedoms for future generations.
The weekend concluded Sunday morning with the GOALS Prayer Breakfast, where attendees gathered for Scripture, testimony, and prayer. GOA Senior Vice President Erich Pratt shared several examples of how prayer had shaped the organization’s work through financial uncertainty, legislative battles, and major court cases.
“Never underestimate what God can do through prayer,” Pratt told attendees. “He’s still the God who provides. He’s still the God who changes hearts. He’s still the God who rules in the affairs of men.”
Danielle Buck also spoke during the Prayer Breakfast, sharing how Patriot Mobile seeks to honor God through its work and partnerships. Buck explained that Patriot Mobile uses its business as a platform to support organizations that defend the First and Second Amendments, protect life, serve and honor veterans and first responders, and share the Gospel.
She highlighted several of Patriot Mobile’s partners, including SoldierStrong, Embrace Grace, and LifeWise Academy, whose work is helping wounded veterans, supporting women facing unexpected pregnancies, and bringing biblical education to public school students.
Buck closed by encouraging attendees to seek God’s direction in their own lives, reminding them that “God still moves mightily.”
GOALS 2026 celebrated 50 years of Gun Owners of America’s unwavering defense of the Second Amendment while calling the next generation to remain engaged. Patriot Mobile was grateful to support a weekend that brought together advocacy, responsible firearm ownership, prayer, and fellowship around a shared commitment to protecting America’s God-given freedoms.
