The "Free Money" HQL Suit Funding Challenge

Mr H · Feb 6, 2016

I got to thinking last night (and we know how dangerous THAT can be!!)

In an effort to help fund the HQL lawsuit, I propose the following...

We all get free money. Gift cards/checks, "cash back", rebates... you name it. Shopping, loyalty rewards, credit card points, referrals... all kinds of it.

For example, I recently received a chunk for being a repeat customer at Enterprise Car Sales. I'll even be happy to do a referral, if anyone is shopping (where I'd get another chunk). PM me for details, if interested. In any case, I gladly handed that over to MSI today, for the suit.

What I would like everyone to do, it to take at least half the value of your "free money", and pass it along to MSI for purposes of assisting to fund the potential HQL lawsuit.

If you're not truly counting on that money for subsistence, this will cost you nothing, and might just show the commitment that other organizations can look at, and decide to jump in.

I encourage everyone to post up whether they're in, and when they toss in.

Amounts are not what we need to know... but participation is.

Good idea.

Has anyone checked whether ranges would be willing to ask customers to contribute a dollar or five when they rent? I cannot count the times ive seen someone walk away frustrated at certain centrally located establishments.

I should add, places seem a lot busier than 2013.

Would be interesting to see how many ranges would agree... especially when some of them are making a mint off the HQL process...

I like the idea, but I like the idea about a gofundme page. It certainly can't hurt and the word can be spread much further. I have never set one up, but I doubt it is too hard.

They lose more in pistol sales.

I think this. I have seen quite a few people walk out of stores in frustration (maybe thinking this was a store policy not the law). Last night I described to someone what one needs to do to buy a handgun since 2013, and his response was "wut??" This is a person with an NRA sticker on their car.

Even people who should be aware, remain blissfully unaware until they are in need.

Of course, maybe those people come back and buy a sub 2k or something.

A lot of stores run campaigns like this (food for hungry at the grocery store, pet adoption fund at Petsmart), because they work.

I guess I should add as well, when you do get a pistol, the paperwork is atrocious. would you like to donate $5 to a fund to help fight the paperwork and make govt more efficient?

Just a reminder that this can still happen!

Bring it, people!! The sooner the better!

Shoot... Bring your credit card loyalty points to the party, too.

Free Money is the best kind. Let big business fund this!!

Agreed. I would like to give my LGS $2,500 - $3,000 right now. However, I refuse to go through the HQL process.

There was a lot of discussion of this at the last MSI meeting. There was no mention of a massive influx of additional $$ from the NRA, but MSI has been working VERY hard on this and we are now a lot closer to the goal line.

Mr H said:
For the record...

This suit is being jointly funded among the various statewide .orgs and NRA.

But wouldn't it be something if MSI ruled the roost on the money raised???

Clarification: As of today, MSI is alone in this venture. There has been no commitments by the NRA or other state .org's.

Where are the dealers $$? They made a windfall in 2013 on handgun sales before the 10/13 deadline, and stand to gain further from striking down the HQL.
