Michigan Gun Owners today announced the affiliation of the Capitol City Rifle Club, another of Michigan’s premier gun clubs. "With the affiliation of the Capitol City Rifle Club, Michigan Gun Owners has significantly expanded its membership base in one fell swoop which will better allow it to aggressively pursue its firearm rights agenda.” said President Mike Thiede.

Michigan Gun Owners was established in 2002 with the mission to educate the public and encourage grass roots activism on a state-wide level through various outreach programs and a popular community forum on the Internet. Michigan Gun Owners has become Michigan’s fastest growing, grass roots gun rights advocacy organization.

The Capitol City Rifle Club, located in Williamston, MI, calls itself the “most complete shooting club in central Michigan” and hosts many different rifle and pistol matches including Civilian Marksmanship Programs.

We have agreed to help each other in different ways throughout the year.

If you think your club may be interested, we can make a presentation to the board.

Cool, affiliations mean strength in numbers while still maintaining autonomy.

Members of a MGO affiliated club get a MGO membership dues discount so this helps MGO grow for a stronger voice in the capitol. MGO can also spread the word that an affiliated club is a good organization to join, too. At least that's the way I see it.

Thanks, Bart, CCRC Prez
