Appleseed Ammo drive collection meet up

February 21st in NOCO.

Location: To be determined by the responses in this thread by those who are donating.

Where we meet matters not to me but would prefer restaurant/cafe with decent breakfast.

Time: Since I have to work later in the day we will meet 7:30-9:30 AM.

Post up locations, ideas and preferences.

Those not already committed to donate please do. Need 22lr and they could use some cash as well to defray costs.

If loaning a rifle please make sure you have some sort of case and some sort of identifier on rifle itself.

Buff, Thanks for organizing the NOCO pickup! Just to step on your thread for a minute. If anyone is able to donate $$$, please don't be shy, I am waaay short of where I thought I would be and am already using the credit cards, lol. Contact me for details.

If you are lending rifles, PLEASE make sure they are clearly marked!! Colored duct tape w/name sharpied on works great on case/stock/etc)

If YOU are able to lend physical support and want to learn some things, we'd love to have y'all out anytime that week!

BigBear, PM me with info on what you're short on and where you planned to be. I was thinking about loaning my rifles for this event (about 6 Win 52s, 6 Mossberg 44USes, 2-3 Kimber 84Gs) but if I do, I want my ammo or a preapproved substitute used with them. I've had bad experiences with other peoples' ammo and it's really hard to find replacement parts for 50-70-year-old firearms.

I should be able to make it pretty much anywhere that day/time. I have two 550 round boxes to donate and I'll throw in some cash too.

I can stop by and pick it up, making one less place Buff has to drive. IF anyone else in the area wants to stop by touch bases with me.

Johnsons Corners sounds good for eats.

On another note (pun for BB), still need some cash donations.

BigBear has already and continues to put in alot of time and effort make this event happen.

It benefits the kids and benefits the rest of us as gun owners. These kids will have a better understanding of our nation's founding and the significance of 2A and the importance of trained riflemen.

The whole program is much more than just The Appleseed day and costs money.

I see what you did there... "on another note"... HA!

Thank you to all who have committed so far. I really could not do it on my own.

Kazoo, will you be home this evening? I am heading out to Tanner and I can stop by on the way home and drop off some .22LR.

Kazoo has my donation for you.
