The Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (MCRGO) is a statewide firearms advocacy organization founded in 1996 to promote the safe use and ownership of firearms through education, litigation, and legislation. It describes itself as Michigan’s largest non-profit, state-based firearms organization and focuses on protecting and expanding the rights of gun owners, particularly concealed pistol license holders ([mcrgo.org](https://mcrgo.org/?utm_source=openai)).
MCRGO advocates for state-level firearms legislation, including concealed carry rights, strengthening state preemption laws, eliminating gun-free zones, opposing special exemptions in firearms law, and promoting hunting and sport shooting. The organization actively works with the Michigan Legislature and engages in public policy advocacy and legal efforts related to Second Amendment rights ([mcrgo.org](https://mcrgo.org/why-join/?utm_source=openai)).
MCRGO is primarily funded through membership dues, contributions, and related support activities, including a connected political action committee (MCRGO-PAC) ([mcrgo.org](https://mcrgo.org/?utm_source=openai)).
MCRGO works in cooperation with the National Rifle Association, Civilian Marksmanship Program, National Shooting Sports Foundation, Michigan United Conservation Clubs, Michigan Open Carry, and Students for Concealed Carry. Its board and leadership have included current and former legislators, and attorney Steven W. Dulan serves on its board and as corporate counsel ([mcrgo.org](https://mcrgo.org/why-join/?utm_source=openai)).
