Expressed possibility of interest, didn't get payment info (possibly from not tracking the thread), lost interest...no money sent.

I have had two transactions with Longrange. I picked them up at his apt. Also saw him at Granger Guns a couple of weeks ago. I have no problem with him. He was very upfront and honest about everything. I do not know him otherwise but I hate to see a "witch hunt" without all of the facts. Let's give the guy a chance. Perhaps there was just poor follow through on sending tickets out. I donated $$ also to the cause. No, I did not get a ticket either and perhaps I may have been duped also, but I don't believe that I have. I know this is not a court room, but I seem to remember something about being innocent until proven guilty. Before we try to burn this guy at the stake perhaps it may be best to with hold comments and judgment until the moderators can clean this up. I firmly believe (and hope) that some people may want to retract their statements. If I am wrong, I apologize to all for misreading someone. If I am correct, I hope that the ones on the "witch hunt" will apologize for jumping to conclusions.

Again, I only know him from two transactions. Please don't waste my time asking "why or what", I don't know know anything beyond what I stated. I do recall that him was donating one of his own personal rifles for this raffle to help a needy family. If this is the case, I hope that I was able to help this family out in some small way.

Purchased ticket through paypal, never received any tickets either.

I have to agree that I did not like the lack of communication/responses during the raffle.

But I don't want this raffle to in any way keep INGO from holding such raffles for families in need.

I have a history of not winning anything, but I don't mind helping out!!!

If there is any fraud here, I am sure it will be dealt with!

Bought 2 tickets by sending in cash. He did provide a name and address to send it to but I have deleted it. Anyone else have it?

Also check with paypal for fraud. I did not really expect paper tickets but at least some proof of a raffle would be good.
Maybe the Moose lodge needs to be inundated with calls until we find out if the raffle happened.
Other forums I've belonged to usually have a youtube of the drawing at some point.
Hopefully the moose should help.

Mods: Any of the members that "know " have the same IP address?

Verdict is still out but the MGO issue is a red flag. Plus he got alot of our addresses etc.
Watch for identity fraud and possible thieves.
Or maybe we're just overreacting???

I had never purchased a ticket-just showed slight interest. Hope everything gets resolved

[kingnereli]

I was very interested at first but never "got around" to buying a ticket. So, I haven't been following this thread. I was unaware of this issue untill I got the pm from esrice. I hope you guys figure this one out. Good luck.

the winner ended up being a chuck howard i believe. acouple of guys off michigan
gunowners ended up winning cash prizes. i believe they sold 200 tickets total.
and i got with most people and told them the reason they didnt recieve their
tickets was the cost to mail them. its my fault at the beginning cause i
assumed they were going to mail them. but didnt think it was a big deal because
i gave all the info name numbers and such to put on the tickets that were being
drawn. and for every ticket that i sold online ended up costing me money
becuase of the paypal charges but didnt bug me i just wanted to try to extend it
out to people online.

so does this prove he is good to go or is it still up in the air
