The Ken Gage Hero's Reward Fund

[cathleeninnh]

I put my check in the mail today with a note saying if it was not need for the replacement of his firearm, to donate it to him personally.

I'll see what I can come up with for funds.  Not as much as I'd like to, I'm sure.  Hopefully I can stop by Riley's this weekend and drop it off with them, directly.

Count me in for $20

I'd like to check out Riley's anyway so I may just head up that way and drop it off personally...

I took Jack's $25.00 donation today so I'll be delivering that to Riley's in the next few days as time permits...

Thanks Everyone!

[Dave Ridley]

i'm in for $15

ill be droping off a $25 donation at rileys this weekend. how long will the fund be at rileys for? maybe others will take notice  and treat ken like a hero not a bad vigilante

and maybe once the guy gets his gun... they could just keep the fund there for the next person who has their gun stolen from them.

EXCELLENT IDEA.

Took Jack Shimek's $25.00 donation in to Riley's today and also donated $15.00 for Dave Ridley.  Ralph was and continues to be "blown away" at all the efforts to support Ken Gage.  Ralph is pro-liberty and pro-FSP!

Ralph told me that Ken Gage came into the shop yesterday and purchased a new Kel-Tec 9mm sidearm(with Ralph giving him a good discount and using our donations and some of his own money).  Ralph and I agreed that we will continue to take donations and will reimburse Ken for the full cost of his new Kel-Tec and perhaps an ammo and accessory purchase...  Then we will take any remaining donations and accumulate them for our next "Hero's Reward"!  Please continue to send in donations to Ken's fund even after we've announced that enough donations have been received to reimburse Ken because we are going to have this fund ready and waiting for the next Hero!

We may also establish a "Victim's Armament Fund" for those persons victimized in NH.  After learning of an incident we would ask the victim if they would like to have adequate personal protection to defend themselves in the future.  If they don't object then the fund will provide them with a firearm and some training.

How does this sound?
Feedback?

Thanks!

I would think that a 'victim's fund' needs to  be nothing more than someone agreeing to donate training and range time and gun stores willing to donate a gun on a rotating basis, possibly with donated funds, to a verified victim.
Gun enthusiast Porcs will likely send their friends to those instructors, use those ranges and shop at those stores.

I know I'll be donating regularily to the funds so that they continue to grow over time...  Others can and will also do this...  I'm not interested in working with other shops at this time although that may change in the future(Riley's is very popular, friendly, has a huge selection, and is a reasonable drive to support a pro-liberty and pro-FSP person and business).

I think it would be great if others took Lloyd's ideas and ours and copied them in other areas and even other states!

Ain't it cool man!

I sent a message to my favorite media contact at WGIRAM -- maybe he'll pick up the story...

If someone writes it up they should send it to the writer who wrote the article in the UL.... it would make for a good followup.
