I have to admit. I love using PayPal ( a patently anti-gun ) orgnization to help provide for the legal defense of an OC'er.

There is satisfaction in the delicious irony.

One of the main reasons that I haven't shifted VCDL away from PAYPAL.:lol:

Sounds like you have been blacklisted.

Did you happen to read through the terms and conditions? I wonder if they cover anything you might be saying here? (Not that you should have before posting, hardly anyone does...)

Made my "first installment" with skidmark this morning at the breakfast.

Thanks for standing up for all of us, Dan.

We are not equal, we will never be equal, but we must be relentless.

It's too bad we could not get NIGHTLINE to do a follow-up story on Dan since they interviewed him at the VCDL picnic. See Dan at 5:44 in the clip below.

Skidmark,

Any way you can give us a counter of how much the fund is up to?

I'll post on a weekly basis unless there is a real interest in daily totals. I'm not going to give the initial deposit amount for personal reasons. As of this very moment that is the only deposit in the fund.

I've asked someone I trust to try using PayPal to make a token deposit to verify that it can be done. As soon as that has been taken care of I'll post the PayPay account info for those that want to use it. GearPay is down so will take a while longer to set up an account.

stay safe.

I'll take mine first thing Monday!

Sorry Skid, I quoted the wrong post...what I meant was since I was local, I would drop it by instead of mailing it.

MoneyExchange competes with PayPal and does not dislike gun owners like PayPal/ebay.

I just signed up. Plus.. it does not take any fees off the top like PayPal does.. so if you donate 100.00, the other person GETS the entire 100 bucks!

Unless you use a credit/debit card, PayPal does not take any $$ off the top. Also, I can only get 5 donations via credit/debit before I'd have to upgrade to paying for the service, which I will not be doing. So -

PLEASE DO NOT USE CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS TO DONATE.

I'll look into setting up an account with revolutionmoneyexchange, and will be setting up an account with GearPay as soon as their site is back up for business.

I've gotten a few cash donations that need to be deposited so will get a total and post it later today.

Thanks to all who have donated.

stay safe.

There will be NO account with revolutionmoneyexchange. They only accept checking account tranactions and The Danbus Fund is set up in a savings account.

Should have tried to set up the account first, then posted the info. Sorry for tying up bandwidth.

stay safe.

PLEASE STOP USING CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS WITH PayPal :exclaim:

Sorry for the loudness, but PayPal is taking $$ off the top if you use a credit or debit card.

You can link to your checking account and have the $$ come directly from there.

Again, thanks to everyone who has donated or is going to donate.

stay safe.
