Now that charges have been officially filed, it makes sense to begin organizing a fund raiser for anyone wishing to contribute towards the legal fees that Jack will incur while mounting his defense.

PayPal donations can be sent to gnbrotz AT embarqmail DOT com. *Remember, they will take a percentage, but if this is most convenient for you, please feel free.

Since we are raising funds for multiple 'causes', please be sure to specify when you donate.

One fund is for individuals who we believe were unjustifiably charged/revoked/denied/etc., and the other is for legal action against municipalities who refuse to recognize preemption (but only after first attempting to correct the issue by bringing it to their attention in a more gentle manner). Additionally, there is the possibility that one fund may be collecting for multiple individuals or cases at the same time.

If you wish to make a single donation, and split between multiple situations, that's fine, just let us know how you'd like the money divided. Any leftover monies in these funds will be held for future incidents of similar nature. Funds will not be swapped from one cause to the other. Funds that are unspecified may be used for either fund at the discretion of Rich and Greg.

Other donations can be mailed to me. Please make any checks, etc. out to me, so that I can consolidate them with the other funds until disbursement. Mail to:

Greg Rotz
1507 Hillcrest Dr
Chambersburg, PA 17202

Any unused funds will be held by myself, on behalf of PA Open Carry, for the next situation that receives our assistance. Monies held will be used exclusively for legal expenses of affected individuals, and not for any other expenses incurred by PA Open Carry (flyers, travel, etc.). A full accounting of receipts and dispersal's (minus personal information) will be available to all donors upon request.

While we do not discourage donations to PAFOA, we remind you that any contribution of PAFOA monies towards cases like this is at the sole discretion of the administrators and is separate from these efforts undertaken by Rich and myself. In the past, some have expressed the desire for their donation to directly benefit individuals in need, and not potentially end up elsewhere. This fund will accomplish that goal.
