The shooting sports are about more than training, competition, and the latest gear. They’re about the people who make this community extraordinary. They are the friendships built on the range, the conversations that continue long after the last stage is scored, and the shared commitment to preserving our traditions for generations to come.
Gun Prom is a celebration of all of that.
On Saturday, August 15, 2026, join friends from across the country at Villa Milano in Columbus, Ohio, for an unforgettable evening of great food, laughter, dancing, and giving back. Whether you’re planning a date night, gathering your shooting team, or reconnecting with friends you’ve only seen through a pair of safety glasses all year, Gun Prom is your opportunity to relax, reconnect, and celebrate the people who make the Second Amendment community so special.
One Community, One Great Night
Gun Prom brings together every corner of the firearms world. You’ll find competitive shooters, hunters, firearms instructors, retailers, manufacturers, content creators, Second Amendment advocates, recreational gun owners, and supporters from across the industry. A Girl & A Gun members will be there alongside first-time guests, spouses, family members, and friends.
While many of us cross paths throughout the year at matches, training events, conferences, and trade shows, Gun Prom offers something different. There are no scoreboards, no timers, and no pressure to be anywhere else. It’s simply an evening to enjoy good company with people who share your passion for the shooting sports.
Ask anyone who has attended in years past what they remember most, and chances are they won’t start with the dinner or the auction. They’ll tell you about the conversations, the laughter, the new friendships, and the memories that have lasted long after the evening ended.
What to Expect
The evening begins with dinner as old friends reconnect and new introductions come naturally. Throughout the night, you’ll enjoy:
- A delicious dinner and dessert
- Casino Night
- A silent auction featuring unique firearms, gear, travel, and exclusive experiences
- Music and dancing
- Plenty of opportunities to connect with friends from across the Second Amendment community
Some guests arrive dressed to the nines. Others come because their friends insisted they couldn’t miss it. By the end of the evening, everyone leaves with stories they’ll be talking about for years.
Every Ticket Makes a Difference
Gun Prom isn’t just one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year. It is also the premier fundraising event benefiting A Girl & A Gun Legacy, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving and expanding opportunities for women in the shooting sports.
Every ticket purchased helps fund scholarships, instructor development, leadership training, educational programs, and other initiatives that empower women to become instructors, match directors, club leaders, mentors, volunteers, and advocates within their communities.
The impact extends far beyond the individuals who receive these opportunities. Every new instructor teaches hundreds of students. Every trained leader strengthens a local club. Every mentor helps another woman discover confidence, competence, and lifelong friendships in the shooting sports.
Your evening at Gun Prom helps ensure those opportunities continue for years to come.
A New Home for a Favorite Tradition
For years, Gun Prom became a beloved tradition in Southern California. In 2026, we’re bringing the celebration to Columbus, Ohio, making it easier than ever for supporters from across the country to join us.
With its central location, Columbus is an ideal destination whether you’re driving in from a neighboring state or flying in for the weekend. More importantly, it gives people from every corner of the firearms community the opportunity to gather in one place to celebrate, reconnect, and support an important mission.
