Attention Fort McMurray (and area) evacuees!

[TSE JR]

Attention Fort McMurray evacuees!

From the news we see that there are almost 2000 directly placed displaced people and untold more here in town.

Given my personal experiences having deployed with the CAF on domestic operations (Fire, Floods and Ice storms), I personally know what a personal toll it can take.

While monies for everyone are tight, there are a few things we here at TSE can do to offer some relief:

For the rest of May (and beyond if necessary):

1) Free storage of firearms in our facility
2) No charge for range use (free day passes)
3) 50% off of our range ammunition if you need ours. (to use in our facility during your visit)

Having something to do is sometimes more important than actual “things”.

Just have your I.D. with a Northern Alberta address and come on in.

If you have any questions about this, please email me direct at: jr@theshootingedge.com

Respectfully,

JR
Owner

Awesome. Thank You.

very good!

Thanks for this. I may have to make the drive from edmonton. Attempting to put holes in paper is always a good stress relief.

 

[Fuzzybiscuit]

I'll pass it on to all I know. Thank you.

Your a contractor making money, and you didn't lose your home.

Are you seriously asking for a discount geared towards people who are sitting around doing nothing because their house burned down?

 

[rougesmurf]

Would this apply to out of province contractors working to get the city up and running so residents can return?

I was thinking about visiting Calgary when I am finished here.

I cannot source a big enough facepalm for this... in very poor taste...imho.

 

[Skippy11]

Very nice folks.

 

[Fontana101]

I tip my hat to you JR.

 

[tictac556]

much respect to you guys!! It says a lot about the firearms community and shows how people come together to help those in need. Great job guys.

 

[Marty7.62]

Right on TSE!
I'll pass this on as well..

 

[Planetmail 12]

Holy sh....., ummm, just wow!

A simple "no" would suffice guys.

There are a lot of people who traveled far and wide to Fort McMurray to first help get the fires under control and then to help safe the place up so that families, like mine, who call Fort McMurray home can return and bring some normalcy back into their lives. While those people were getting paid they earned it through the long hours in very adverse conditions they had to endure. Without their tireless efforts there would be a lot more of us who wouldn't have a home to return to.

With a user name like "HAZMAT911" I'm sure the gentleman who posed the question is probably one of those people and while the question may seem to be in bad taste, the guy has probably just worked the better part of the last two weeks since the fires first started. Anyone who has frequented a forum, any forum, for some time has seen even the most respected member post something that would make you shake your head.

I'm going to give the guy the benifit of the doubt because if he is a first responder he is probably dog tired and instead of adding to the beating he is taking say "Thanks for your efforts and keep them up! My family wants to get home and the sooner the better."
