Tulsi Gabbard to talk new book at Sig Sauer Experience Center in Epping

EPPING — Gunmaker Sig Sauer will host former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard on Sunday, May 19, at the SIG Experience Center in Epping.

Gabbard will discuss her New York Times bestselling book "For Love of Country, Leave the Democrat Party Behind" at 1 p.m. as part of the SIG Experience Center inaugural speaker series. She will then host a meet-and-greet, where she will sign books and take photos.

The SIG Experience Center, which encompasses a retail showroom, museum and firing range, is located at 233 Exeter Road in Epping.

Once a rising star of the Democratic Party, Gabbard left the party due to "growing wokeness and liberal policies" that "were more than she could stomach."

A four-term congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate, Gabbard is a veteran with three deployments to war zones in the Middle East and Africa. She has served in uniform for more than 21 years and is currently a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Registration atsigsaueracademy.com is required to attend Gabbard's talk. Registration is not required for the meet-and-greet, where the line will open at 1:30 p.m.

The SIG Experience Center speaker series is hosted by Sig Sauer Academy. Gabbard kicks off the series, which will feature defense leaders, industry experts, and changemakers from a multitude of fields and disciplines on various subjects.  Members of the SIG Experience Center range get first access to speaker series events.  For upcoming events, visit sigsaueracademy.com.
