you know you want to
Well, with just under two weeks left before the Gun Blogger Rendezvous, Para USA has announced that they will donate a pistol of unknown make or model to the convention. Of course, while we do not know what the firearm will be, exactly, I honestly doubt any attendees would mind the addition to their armory of any product Para USA makes.
Given how much this is costing me to actually attend (which is considerably less than it would have been, thanks to Traction Control), though, and other possible financial... hurdles... in the future, I cannot say as though I will probably be purchasing very many of the $10 raffle tickets. However, given that there are only 100 tickets (at the moment), and the current prizes are the Para USA firearm, a Hi-Point 9mm, and a $2000 four-day training certificate at Front Sight Institute (along with rumors of other little goodies like a range bag and who-knows-what-else), I would strongly recommend that the rest of you take advantage of my shortcomings and purchase as many tickets as you can yourselves. Hey, my being chintzy increases your probabilities of winning, right? And, when you get right down to it, whether you win a prize or not, everyone involved with the raffle wins - all proceeds, every last dollar (since all of these prizes were donated), goes to Project Valour-IT, which is certainly a deserving organization.
You are getting kind of close to the deadline (especially for flights, from what I understand), but you can probably still register if you are planning/hoping on coming.
Current attendees include: Mr. Completely (the orchestrator of this event), USCitizen (my flight benefactor), Phil and David, DirtCrashr (you bloody well better come!), RideFast, Kevin Baker, KeeWee, JimmyB, Lou, Chris and Mel Byrne, Derek, and Larry Weeks... oh, yeah, and me.
Guests/sponsors/swag-bearers include Ashley Varner and Glen Caroline from the NRA, Dr. Ignatius Piazza himself (possibly), Crimson Trace, and Hi-Cap Gun Works.
Furthermore, this little shindig is open to anyone - gun blogger, gun shooter, commenter, milblogger, military members... really, we would probably welcome just about anyone. So get your reservations in, send in your monies, and I will see you there. I mean, where else can you shoot a firearm that costs more than a car (a Hyundai, granted, but I guess those count as "cars")?
