A New Kahr for O'Dell / Donation site

[wyntrout]

The check's in the mail... along with those sights from my S.A. Champion. The rear one is a little worse for wear... I drilled the set screw holes out a bit and broke a hex bit off in one.

Bawanna, help, we're losing ground! We had 14 contributions in post 88. Now we only have 11 or 12. Plug the hole in the dam. Stick your finger in the dyke.

Well take me out back and flog me, I knew it was more than 10 and didn't want to take my shoes off. I just went out and had to take both shoes off. We got 16 total donations and we hit 605.

Wife says if you guys keep sending me money she might let me stay home from work. What do ya think.

[Jeremiah/Az]

Who would have thunk it? I guess we are family! Does that include Mrs. Moon. I'd like to be related to her.

I'm sure she regretted saying that the moment she was finished, I know mine would sooner divorce me than put up with me full time.

First off I want to make sure that credit is given where credit is due. I didn't think this up. A relatively new member approached me about the plan I'm about to propose. He chooses to remain anonymous for the time being but I hope he'll allow me to share his name before we're done. Even though hes hundreds of post short of qualification, I plan to give him the kahrtalk secret handshake and maybe even the much coveted kahr hat if I can get one. (He is not getting my autographed poster of Justin Moons wife, some things are sacred) I'm sure the thought crossed many of our minds but he jumped in and said lets do this.

I'm snowed in again so it's taken me way too long to work out logistics and some of them are just gonna go out the window but I can't wait any longer.

Here's the plan.

We're gonna open up our very own Kahrtalk donation program to help O'Dell replace his losses. For those of you unaware he's been brutally struck twice with residential burglaries, the second time after installing hardened security doors etc. Lost a pile of very very nice guns including more than 1 Kahr.
It seems like the right thing to do to help take care of one of our own. I PM'd a few members and without exception everyone was on board.
To be clear we're gonna send O'Dell money that he can spend anyway he feels is best. I of course cleared the plan with him first to make sure he would accept. He told me he's already looking at gun safes. We of course think he needs a new Kahr also since he's now Kahrless.

Anyhow heres the modified logistics due to my impatience.

We'll open up for donations until March 31st. Then this thread will end so any new people won't think they can continue to send money. Another check mechanism I'll mention later.
I will keep a list of donations and the donors. On or about April Fools, I'll send one total check to O'Dell along with a list of all the names of donors.
I WILL NOT include any dollar amount associated with each donor.
Someone suggested a list of MAJOR donors who's name could be shared but I'll let you guys all decide if you like that or not. I assume MAJOR would be like 100$ or more, or perhaps 50$ or more?
I don't want anyone to feel that their donation isn't significant or not worth sending, many of us aren't exactly flush at the moment, myself included but this is a good thing we're doing.
It's easy, and if alot of us do a little, it will equal alot to our buddy O'Dell who incidently I have never met personally or associated with in anyway. (there is talk of adoption proceedings but thats unofficial right now as he lost everything I hoped to inherit) Reading his post I'm convinced he's a standup good guy.

Before this reaches novel length heres the logistics.

I don't really relish the idea of sharing my name and home address with the entire internet that Dietrich invented. So heres my plan.

If you choose to contribute send me a PM. I will reply with my Name and address. Its really Bawanna but I use an alias for real life. I looked into a PO Box and opening a special bank account but we would lose donor names and lose money that we can send O'Dell.
By PMing me my info isn't out there for anyone other than our members. This also will allow me to turn away donors after the 31st.

I plan to keep the list of names and amounts so that theres no chance of any malfeasonce. I'm from Missouri so you can trust me. Also if for whatever reason the money needs to be returned I have a way of contacting everyone.

I'm frantically trying to remember if I forgot any details here, it's simpler than it sounds really. Feel free to drop in questions or concerns but I want to kick this thing off.

So with all that said lets help out our buddy.


I'll add this info here so when its bumped all will see.
You don't need to PM me now. Just make a post stating you want to contribute or your are in. I will then send YOU a PM with address and information. Little easier this way.

Thanks.

and a good day to all kahr owners.

lets keep the momentum going guys.. just a few more weeks left..

I'm sure she regretted saying that the moment she was finished, I know mine would sooner divorce me than put up with me full time.

Since I'm the only man (well half man) in my area of the dept surrounded by 10 women, two of which are my super sized supervisors, it makes no difference if I go to work or stay home. All the same stuff, mostly nag, nag, nag.
My wife likes to go places and run around and I like to stay home and play in my man cave or watch the grass grow or I actually like mowing my lawn, so if I stayed home I could be the king of my castle at least for a few hours each day, course I'd probably have a to do list for those few hours too.

Better ask first, she might slap you.

Your indeed a wise man! Good idea.

a good day to all kahr owners and may every day for O'Dell just get better even..

Three more checks in the mail, another 150 bucks in the bucket!!! One more probably at the post office.

Wynn, when you send a letter your suppose to put a stamp on it. Apparently the postal service thinks you robbed them of 78 cents. So I'll get that taken care of tomorrow before the federal agents come knocking at your door.

We're a heck of a family here. Alot of generosity happening right here.

[wyntrout]

Hey! I got there just after the window closed and had already put 44 + 17 cents on the envelope for about 34 grams... just over an ounce. I had a question on whether or not it was still an envelope after I put the two pieces of cardboard in to protect the sights. I guess it had become a package since it was probably a hair over 1/4"thick.

Dang! You got it quickly! Didn't you notice the Christmas stamp... bought 100 the Christmas before last... and the 17˘ for up to 2 ounces.

Wynn

[jocko]

great report bawanna. can't beat this membership for helping out one of our own.

L:etskeep up the good deeds guys, you will all be rewarded for it someday..

[Willieboy]

That is good news Bawanna. Even after the effort has been around a couple weeks, the donations are still coming in. Amazing!

I haven't seen the package yet but the card they left still called it an envelope. Who know how the postal system works anymore. I'll check the wanted posters while I'm there to make sure your not on the 10 most wanted list. Doubt 78 cents qualifies for Americas Most Wanted.

Yup still trickling in. It's a good thing.
