Alan Merril Gottlieb (born May 2, 1947) is an American author, conservative political activist, gun rights advocate, and businessperson. Gottlieb has published over 19 books.
He was born a first child to Seymour and Sherry Gottlieb on May 2, 1947 in Los Angeles. Gottlieb graduated from the University of Tennessee in the summer of 1971, after a five-year course, with a degree in nuclear engineering. He has also attended the Institute on Comparative Political & Economic Systems at Georgetown University. "I am," he [Gottlieb] says, "the premiere anti-communist, free-enterprise, laissez-faire capitalist."
Gottlieb is a staunch defender of gun rights, and most of his 19 books expound upon the subject. Gottlieb is a businessman who owns, with his wife, several businesses whose target market is ultra-conservative groups. Gottlieb is an avid collector of old handguns and postage stamps.
Gottlieb is the Chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, a Board Member of the American Conservative Union, President of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, President of the American Political Action Committee, President of NoInternetTax.org, and President of KeepAndBearArms.com.
