Molly B. Posted December 20, 2022 at 11:12 PM Posted December 20, 2022 at 11:12 PM It has been suggested that we create a fund for folks who want to contribute toward litigation. We can do that! Anyone who would like to contribute can go to our regular 'donate' button at the top of the screen and in details type in litigation. We'll see that it gets put to good use!
John Q Public Posted December 20, 2022 at 11:35 PM Posted December 20, 2022 at 11:35 PM Thanks Molly, I made a $100 commitment to this fund and would be honored, if you all would join me. If you can't match me, please give what you can. We are being bled with a thousand cuts. I'm done moving at this point. The only way to fight this is in court... you know they will pass 5855 even though they know it to be UnCon. I said in another thread, I'm going to spread 20% of my net for the year and give it to those who would fight in court, in the hope, we can resolve with the least amount of ugly. If 10 of you are willing to back Val and IC with another ten $100 donations, I will give another $100. I know that's not big money, but it is for me. If you don't have $100 donate what you can, and post it here. As was said today, there is a line in the sand, here and no further. It's time to stand up... there has never been a more critical time. If we let them ignore the SC there are no options other than ugly. JQ

The first $100 is for you to match, when we get there. Thank you for that. The second $100 is so I match your second $100, and we're all even
John Q Public Posted December 20, 2022 at 11:47 PM Posted December 20, 2022 at 11:47 PM As I said to you in a PM, I always look at what you do and thank you for it. You are a huge part of keeping us informed. My thanks.... JQ
MagSlap Posted December 21, 2022 at 12:26 AM Posted December 21, 2022 at 12:26 AM Awww heck.... Donated a hunnerd bone... ...and I'm just a freeloading non-paying, can't edit after 8 seconds, scumbag member. (At least this goes toward something good....vs the crappy 'gotta refresh all the time website problems that never got fixed'... OH!! Did I say that out loud?? ) Yes..many years ago Molly helped me out with some advice (Molly you may not even recall..but it dovetailed into a 'bigtime IL CC thang' back when it started).... And for that? YUP... I'll donate for 'litigation'.... Put it to good use... Or...a Portillo's Big Beef sammich lunch on the way to the courthouse...
MagSlap Posted December 21, 2022 at 12:39 AM Posted December 21, 2022 at 12:39 AM NOTE..... I didnt do a 'details' for 'litigation' tho... Didnt see it..... well I had to open up a bunch of 'browser security' schtuff.... So..could have been that. (too many frakin' scripts to allow) So...when you see mine come thru... Know its for 'litigation'....

FarmHand357 Posted December 21, 2022 at 02:05 AM Posted December 21, 2022 at 02:05 AM I guess I missed the special instructions too, but was happy to contribute to this worthy effort...
soundguy Posted December 21, 2022 at 02:08 AM Posted December 21, 2022 at 02:08 AM I'm in... Cheers, Tim * Nice job today Valinda! Todd, Too!

Is this tax deductible? Gotta ask so I know which bank account to use?

thepointbeing Posted December 21, 2022 at 04:08 AM Posted December 21, 2022 at 04:08 AM I'm happy to support such an important cause. Thanks for your dedication, hard work, and valuable advice. Happy holidays to IllinoisCarry and all its members.
Yeti Posted December 21, 2022 at 01:38 PM Posted December 21, 2022 at 01:38 PM I’m in… and copied mauserme’s funding logic
Molly B. Posted December 21, 2022 at 04:32 PM Author Posted December 21, 2022 at 04:32 PM $975 . . . what a great start!
John Q Public Posted December 21, 2022 at 07:36 PM Posted December 21, 2022 at 07:36 PM We have a ton of people here, thanks, to those that have donated thus far. I know many of you donate to other orgs. It doesn't matter if you can afford to match the $100 please give what you can.. if that's $5 fine we all know how tough it is right now. Christmas is, but a few days away. One person always gifts me $100 for Christmas, so that will be going into this fund. Now is the time for all of us to put up and smack down these UnCon laws. I'd love to see the FOID go and most of those prohibited areas. I trust Val to get the money to the right people. So here's the deal, for every thousand we get, I will donate another $100. Hopefully, we can get a few people with my on the pledge. Even if you only pledge to give $20, or whatever you can do. If you have deeper pockets and can donate more, I encourage you to do so. I don't have a lot either, so at some point, I will have to pull the plug, but I will inform the forum if we get there. Now is the time folks! Your brother in arms, JQ
John Q Public Posted December 21, 2022 at 07:54 PM Posted December 21, 2022 at 07:54 PM Thank you Veela.
springfield shooter Posted December 22, 2022 at 02:13 PM Posted December 22, 2022 at 02:13 PM 100 bucks for "Litigation".
John Q Public Posted December 22, 2022 at 09:46 PM Posted December 22, 2022 at 09:46 PM Okay, that has to be over $1000, so I'm dropping another $100. Those of you who didn't put down $200 initially, please join me now, if you can. JQ
ScopeEye Posted December 22, 2022 at 10:16 PM Posted December 22, 2022 at 10:16 PM Bump... $100 Donated
