The National Rifle Association will hold its annual meeting with 70,000 attendees expected to join in the three-day "Stand and Fight"-themed convention. 

Media personality Glenn Beck, talk show host Sean Hannity, Former Gov. Sarah Palin, and former Sen. Rick Santorum are among the guests scheduled to speak, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The NRA recently stored a major victory as proposed gun control measures were roundly defeated in the US Senate. Explaining the "Stand and Fight" theme, NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam told CBS that "What happened a couple of weeks ago [in the Senate] was the first battle in what will be many battles. But we're prepared for a very long and extensive war."

Seminars offered during the convention include "Methods of Concealed Carry," "Defensive Shooting Skill Development," "Home Defense Concepts," and "Advanced Sausage Processing."
