Come Embrace Your Personal Freedoms

Join us as we joyfully thumb our nose at the nanny-state and enjoy the perks of adulthood, including drinking, smoking, and shooting; the same kind of fundamental rights the left works to take away from us every day. While not everyone who attends actually shoots our PETA-friendly clay pigeons, drinks, or smokes, they value the individual right to do so; they value the freedom our Founding Fathers afforded us; and they value the mission of Independence Institute.

The event includes:

• PETA-friendly clay pigeons
• Lunch
• Libations and cigars with II favorites such as Jon Caldara and hero to the Second Amendment, David Kopel
• 12 shotguns are available to rent, call Kiowa Creek Sporting Club at 303.644.4627 to reserve one for the day of the event

Keynote Speaker: Norm Hooten

Notably portrayed by Eric Bana in the acclaimed film Black Hawk Down, Norman “Hoot” Hooten is a true American hero. A former Delta Force operator, Hooten played a critical role in the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu—one of the most intense U.S. military engagements in recent history, where American forces faced heavy resistance while capturing key lieutenants of a Somali warlord. His bravery and leadership during the 18-hour firefight became central to the film’s storyline and helped bring public awareness to the sacrifices made by U.S. special operations forces. Now retired from active military duty, Hooten continues to serve his fellow warriors as a full-time health care provider, working closely with veterans to support their physical and mental well-being.
