Tim Grant

Tim Grant's interest in firearms and self-defense began in February of 1996 when his cousin was killed in a drive by shooting in Golden Valley Minnesota. After four years of committed part-time work on the leadership team of CCRN, Tim left his position as National Sales Manager for Norstan and Siemens to focus more time on changing Minnesota's carry laws. As CCRN's lead strategic planner and elections manager, Tim played a key role in developing and guiding the Minnesota Personal Protection Act through the Minnesota Legislature. Moving forward, Tim will hold strategic and operational roles within the American Association of Certified Firearms Instructors (AACFI) along with maintaining his role as one of Minnesota's leading firearms lobbyists.

Tim Grant holds an MBA from the University of St. Thomas, graduate credits from St. Paul Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Economics from the University of Minnesota. He also holds both Instructors and Certifier ratings from AACFI.
