    I would appreciate it if those of you who ordered pins so far would shoot me a PM when/if your order arrives. I took the whole batch of orders to the Post Office today and they told me that I might have done the postage wrong on Stamps.com. But the whole issue is kind of confusing so they told me to just send them as is and see if they make it or get returned to me. I suspect that they will be delivered to you guys, but I'd feel better knowing for sure when they arrive.

    Thanks!

    No problem. The whole issue is idiotic in my opinion. If the envelopes that I used were 1/8" longer then it would be a non-issue and the postage would be correct. But since they are below a certain size they can only be sent 1st class LETTER rather than 1st class LARGE ENVELOPE. For some stupid reason that only .gov could figure out, it costs more to send the smaller envelope if it is thicker than 1/4". I wanted to put my head through the wall at the Post Office, and even the postal clerk admitted that it made no sense and could not figure it out. :banghead:

    Man, I just got the t-shirt, and now you pull this thing with the pins. Love the t-shirt, BTW. Now I have to order pins for each of the kids to take to school on their backpacks.

    Hey Don, why don't we have any sort of business cards? I'd love to have some in my wallet that I could hand out to people that I meet who are into firearms and support the 2nd Amend. It would be an easy way to introduce our forum and to get more like minded people involved.
    Just a thought.

    That's a great idea.

    I know someone made some up once and they looked pretty good, but I think we need to adopt an "official" card that can be downloaded and printed out at will.

    The main banner for MDS and MSI on 1 card unless we don't want to associate the two. Maybe give sort of a shout out to SAF on the card also considering all they are currently doing for us.
    I'm terrible at designing things so maybe some of the more creative folks could make a few designs. Put up a poll and have everyone vote on the "official" and then have Don give his blessing.

    Since I've never done any karma for MDS, I'll buy the first round of 500 for the approved design.
    The more we order, the better the price right? It would also be useful to hand out cards at gunshows and the like.

    Here's the "un-official" card. "Right Click, Save As" link in post #109

    It would be nice to have an "official version" though.:thumbsup:

    I'd kinda like to see a white card with the main Banner at the top of the forum embossed onto the card. With links for MSI and SAF.
    My eyes are bad and the dark background on the card you made makes it a little difficult to see for me.
