Re: FOAC Gun Bash Winning Ticket numbers.
I hope you get an apology as well, but I think he probably had a bird shit on him and he expected to get lucky at the gun bash. When that didn't happen, he needed to find an excuse. It is a shame that there are people like that out there, but that is life and you have to take the bad with the good.
I know a little about what goes on at the FOAC bash. During the first FOAC bash Chris called me up after I worked a 12 hour day and told me he needed help setting up the event. I was there in 20 minutes and started moving tables and building garbage cans with him. He asked if I could help the morning of the bash and I was there setting up the tables, putting drinks in coolers, hanging posters, making parking signs, and went with him to pick up all of the guns from Ace's. I am just disappointed that I wasn't able to get involved this time around.

I can't make ALL the events either, but I'm retired, and can make some that occur in mid-week. Don't apologize for not making the Bash. The Chairman sez that if every FOAC member would put in just 8 hours a YEAR, we'd have something sizzling going on. You've done your part, and we'll see you again I'm sure. By the way, tickets for the M82A1 Barrett semi-auto .50BMG are on sale, only 500 tickets. Make sure to get yours. 25 bucks, 2 numbers, based on the evening daily number on the 4th of July. We also have a very few tickets for a nice M&P 40, new in the box, donated by an FOAC member! Same day, same evening number, but only 5 bucks a ticket. I've asked for five of them, and will pay for them at next FOAC meeting or at the Washington County Gun Show on the 9th. The Barrett tickets should fly off the shelf. I bought 4 and sold 7 in about 5 minutes at a class I'm taking.WOP 2-The Original Spaghetti Western

Re: FOAC Gun Bash Winning Ticket numbers.
I would like to sincerely apologize for my incredibly crappy, selfish, whiny and unfair assessment of the Bash. It is true that I know very little about how these games are run and I should have kept my sour grapes off the boards. I should have just accepted my lack of winning as a sure sign from God that I didn't need any more guns and that He was giving me an opportunity to be humble in silence. Instead, I acted out my frustration like a spoiled brat.
No one at any of the 2 bashes I've attended has ever done me wrong. I think the bird poop comment fits best. I was certainly not born with a horse shoe up my butt, but before posting my regretable comments, I must have had a stick up there.
Again, please accept my apologies and for any harm they may have caused.

Re: FOAC Gun Bash Winning Ticket numbers.
Chesterton:
Your apology is accepted in the same very sincere way it was offered. I have a lot of faults, but holding grudges isn't one of them. My offer, or better said, request, to work one of our bashes as a volunteer stands. You don't get paid a nickel, you have to buy a main entry ticket, and pretty much nobody will know you worked the bash. Gads, you can't even have a beer if you're working! On the other hand, perhaps Karma will kick in and help you fill up that gun safe.
We're all rooting for you to find that horseshoe, please believe that. It may sound funny, but seeing the smiles on the faces of the winners feels pretty good. See you in October? I really hope so.WOP 2-The Original Spaghetti Western

Re: FOAC Gun Bash Winning Ticket numbers.
Thank you so much for your mercy and understanding.
There are only 2 reasons I wouldn't be able to help at the Bash
1. I'll be in Bedford, PA on business that weekend.
2. I'm pretty sure that tight jeans and a white apron on me would dissuade people from calling me over to buy more tickets. The girls do a much better job.
I appreciate your forgiving me of my pathetic indiscretion about the Bash.

Re: FOAC Gun Bash Winning Ticket numbers.
It was a great bash, No problems, politically or other, and we were able to raise alot of money for the cause. I didnt win a thing but i had a good time talking to all kinds of people. Ill see you all at the next bash.
