Kyle Rittenhouse

Kyle Rittenhouse is a nationally recognized Second Amendment advocate and serves as Chief Firearms Instructor for the Texas Gun Rights Foundation and Director of Partnerships for both Texas Gun Rights and the Texas Gun Rights Foundation.

Kyle first came to national prominence after defending himself during the violent riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020. In 2021, a jury acquitted him of all charges after determining he acted in lawful self-defense — a landmark case that ignited a nationwide debate about the fundamental right of Americans to protect themselves.

Since that time, Kyle has become a powerful voice for the Second Amendment, using his platform to educate Americans about self-defense, firearms safety, and the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. He has appeared on major national media platforms and podcasts, including interviews with Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump Jr., and Charlie Kirk, where he has discussed the importance of defending constitutional freedoms in an increasingly hostile political climate.

In his role with Texas Gun Rights Foundation, Kyle helps lead firearms training and education efforts designed to promote responsible gun ownership and expand access to quality firearms instruction. As Director of Partnerships, he works to strengthen relationships across the Second Amendment movement, helping connect activists, influencers, and organizations committed to defending gun rights.

Kyle has also traveled the country speaking on college campuses and at public events about the importance of campus carry, self-defense rights, and the enduring role of the Second Amendment as a safeguard of liberty.

When he’s not advocating for the right to keep and bear arms or instructing on the range, Kyle enjoys training with firearms, working with his dog Milo, and spending time with his wife, Bella.

Through his work with Texas Gun Rights and the Texas Gun Rights Foundation, Kyle continues to help mobilize a new generation of Americans committed to defending the Second Amendment — without compromise.
