FOAC FALL 2012 GUN BASH

[fragmag]

I guess Ill just have to see for myself in a few hours.

the list is sitting with the guns at Ace, forgot to grab it when i left tonight. i hope to have it up tomorrow.

Not up. Would be useful to have this MUCH earlier. Especially with the sell-out of main tickets, this list would be very useful to convince people to come in with Guest Tickets.

The food was great. Everything went well until the end. A bunch of people by me were complaining why each of them paid the full $20 for a single ticket but others later were allowed to pay $2 for a chance to win 34 tickets (worth $680, a 2 in 250 or 1 in 125 chance). Some guy could have given $500 to buy all the $2 tickets, and received $1360 worth of $20 tickets. They said those who waited towards the end were given an unfair advantage and that they would have rather received their money back to put into the mystery gun or gun safe raffle.

Other suggestions I heard were to have a better sound system and possibly to use a projector to show what raffle was being drawn and the resulting winning number. I suppose we could have used this to put up Kim's photo during much of the event to remind people to contribute to the Kash for Kim fund as well as for displaying other useful info.

An overall good gun bash.

I somewhat agree about the $2 tickets. My biggest complaint is I have to wait until Wednesday to pick up my zombie guns

[hhughes531]

Maybe I missed something. had a great time, though I did not win anything. My question is did the caller actually win the mystery gun? To me kinda stange for that to happen. Please let me know if I just missed something. Great job to the caterers also..

Yes John won the Mystery Gun. He bought a ticket, probably a few, so he deserves a shot. Someone else did the drawing for the number. I've spent about six-hundred dollars on 3 previous bashes and won nothing. I spent the same average this time around and won one.

Chris, can you please put up soon all of the guns won, and those from the $2, $3, $5, & $20 tables for us to choose from? It's been a few days since you mentioned you'd do this. Appreciate all the hard work & planning you did. Thanks.

P.S. This is what you had in the Spring...

he does have a shot at winning, but he admitted at beginning that he knew what was in the mystery box.. oh well, guess i was the only person that had a strange feeling about this.. anyway, had a great time

[WhiteFeather]

Wanted to set the record straight.

The announcer the one that actually won the gun didn’t know what was in the mystery safe or the mystery gun.... He said he bought one of the first tickets for that side raffle, plus IF you watch this event or others that he hosted for FOAC he drops many hundreds of bucks at every bash buying many side tickets raffle. This is the first prize I believe he won at any of FOAC gun bashes.

The manger of Ace sporting goods was the one said that he bought tickets because he knew what was in the mystery gun case and mystery gun safe.

The guy that won didn’t know what firearm was the prize.

as added proof

If you watched his face closely when they opened up the mystery case exposing (the wrong prize) break open 20 gage shotgun. he even fell for the gag prize played for drama effect with the winners at evey FOAC bash. He even knew it was a gag and still fell victim for a few seconds, so he REALLY didn’t know what was in the prize case.



The new state small game of chance laws and the PSP legal opinion of what they say, really screwed up this event and other that host these events. the lucky winners, they had to wait to get their prizes. no 50/50 raffles are allowed, plus the raffles had to be re-structured so the winners were not forced to pay extra cost of wining the prize based on the ratio of ticket sold and prize value won.

as to winning goes

Some people are just plain old freaking lucky dogs, watched several people win more than one firearm raffle over the years at the same event, including this one. Most of these lucky people also drop more than a few bucks on the many raffles to get the chance to win If you don’t play you can’t win.



Additional... IF you watched the Kash for Kim donation, closely you saw that same announcer that won that mystery gun pull out of couple hundred bucks from his own pocket and was the first one to put his ccash in the barrel to help out for Kim Stolfer medical expenses. So maybe his unselfish generosity was rewarded with a really cool prize.

$20 buck Batch tickets sales
Have Watched a few of the trying to sell the batch of un sold tickets at the end of these gun bashes when everyone is out of money.
Fate seems to favor the people that paid full price every time.
As the batch ticket have to win two in a row to get the extra chances and Fate & Luck has already saw to it that the final winning ticket has been sold at full price.



Glad everyone had a good time and your donations to both Kim and FOAC will go to a good causes to help protect your firearm rights in PA.
