About Rob Doar

Rob Doar is an attorney and lobbyist who serves as General Counsel of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and President of the Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center, the group’s litigation arm. He also sits on the Caucus board and has served as its Senior Vice President for Government Affairs. With more than 16 years at the Minnesota State Capitol as both a volunteer and a professional lobbyist, he has been one of the most visible voices for gun owners in Minnesota legislative debates. He earned his J.D. from Mitchell Hamline School of Law and a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Bemidji State University, and he is a POST Skills graduate of Hennepin Technical College.

Doar has contributed to amicus briefs in state courts, federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. The Caucus and Law Center were central to Worth v. Jacobson, which struck down Minnesota’s ban on carry permits for adults aged 18 to 20, and the Supreme Court declined to disturb that ruling. The organization has also challenged a Saint Paul gun ordinance as preempted by state law and contested the state’s binary trigger ban. Outside of his gun rights work, he volunteers as an EMT and search and rescue incident commander and represents indigent clients in Minnesota criminal courts.
