Most Gun Industry Events Completely Suck

Clover sits down with John Patton from The Gun Collective for a brutally honest conversation about GunCon 2026, the problems with traditional gun industry trade shows, creator culture, media access, community building, and the future of firearms events. The discussion dives into GunCon’s explosive growth, creator networking, firearms media, range day access, giveaways, industry politics, and why most gun events completely miss the mark for both companies and attendees. Along the way, they tackle Second Amendment culture, content creation struggles, influencer marketing, firearms industry trends, and the growing disconnect between corporate gun culture and real enthusiasts. If you're into gun content, firearms events, tactical gear, creator culture, or behind-the-scenes industry talk, this episode is packed with insight and controversy.
