The MN gun owners Political Action Committee was formed as its own entity, in response to some very specific items and activities that only a PAC could do.
Since that time, the PAC leadership created the MN Gun Owners Caucus. I chatted with one of the leadership folks at the MWCA show, and it sounds like they are also working on some sort of education program. i don't quite get how all the 503/c4/R2D2/CP3O stuff works, but it sounds like the leaders of the PAC/MNGOC are working a cohesive stratergy from a couple differnt angles.
GOCRA, on the other hand, seems to be collecting checks.
YMMV
I don't speak for GOCRA, so can't answer for them.
MNGOPAC was formed with GOCRA's blessing, as several of us had volunteered there, to deal with election issues that a 501c4 cannot do. We've since launched a very integrated organization, the MN Gun Owners Caucus, which includes MNGOPAC, and an education oriented 501c3. This is similar to the setup of other successful political organizations.
We led the 2017 legislative efforts in coordination with the NRA and GOCRA President Joe Olson, who testified on both bills.
We'll be at the upcoming MWCA show this weekend - hope to see you there!
Please help us understand what initiatives the donated money will go to for these three organizations. I assume they cannot freely pass funds between each other. Thx!
