Not to be the wet noodle in the bunch but having been scammed by a similar drawing on this very board a couple of years ago I would like to know if this drawing has been thoroughly vetted to insure its legitimacy?

We are a 501(c)3 and I believe I sent Fenway copies of our documentation. I'm also an 07FFL and an Ed Brown dealer.

We have industry support from magazine publishers, bloggers, other forum admins and various manufacturers. Not to name drop, but Ed Brown Products, Turnbull Manufacturing, Galco, Cylinder & Slide, Nighthawk Custom, US PALM, SWAT Magazine, Massad Ayoob, Wicked Grips, Smith & Wesson, AR15.com, CalGuns.net, The High Road, Smith-Wesson Forum.com and lots of others have all taken a hard look at us, and they have all determined that our organization is worth supporting.

I completely understand why we should be wary in this day and age, but we've been looked at by "the big boys" and we've passed muster. Our goal is to be around for a long time, providing direct support to these children and their families. We will be conducting similar contests throughout 2012 and the prize packages will all be as exceptional as this one.

I appreciate your caution, I applaud it actually. We would also appreciate everyone's support, be it financial, or through sharing our mission with others through social networking.

Best Regards,

Stu

So, why was the drawing date moved to November 18th?

 

[Kara's HoPE]

The drawing was moved in order to have the prize in hand. We're waiting on Ed Brown at this point and I'm assured that the gun will be ready by then. The date change was made in accordance with the rules, which allow for the change, but the 18th is a date certain at this point.

And I agree with Scutter01, so if anyone has any questions, fire away!

Thanks!
