Can we hit 2000 members by 1/12/09?

[Fenway]

Thanks for the kind words! I think we might be able to hit our 2000 goal!

Love the site looks like it's only 91 members off of the 2,000 mark as of right now. Absolutely incredible for a 1st year single-state niche forum.

There are 286,291 Hoosiers with firearms licenses. There are around 6.5 million residents. That's 4% of the population. Not exactly a niche.

Now we just need to figure out how to A) get the other 284,000 to register, and B) get the other 6.2 million to get their LTCH.

You forgot to subtract the million or so that are still minors and unable to get a LTCH (yet) as well as the however many who are disqualified by means of mental disability or habitual intoxication, not to mention the present and former felons and misdemeanor domestic abusers. All told, these groups likely total another million, perhaps 1.5M. If that is the case, we're talking about 286K:4M, or roughly 7%. Much better numbers, but still much room for improvement.

You forgot the illegal aliens.

True. Half a million, for round figures? 286K:3.5M. Getting better.

Rep for good info, if the system will let me rep you.

Only 60 members away with the 9th day of the month drawing to a close, truly impressive.

Yup.. Less than two a day away from the goal!

Well two more have joined since I just posted about there being 60 members shy of 2000 no more than a couple of hours ago. I think it's doable, I'd love to see this site make it to the big "2000" members in it's first year.

We'll do it.

We're awesome like that.

 

[Seancass]

It looks like we'll be well past 2000 by then.

I have told and will continue to tell every person I find that is a gun lover. I do hope a few have taken my recommendations to do so. I love this Site.

 

[turnandshoot4]

Getting closer!!!!

 

[SavageEagle]

hey! We have only 4 members less than my post count as of this post! That's crazy weird!

 

[danielocean03]

I've been spreading the word to fellow gun-runners I work with, but only one has joined up so far. Still working on the rest of them, hopefully they'll join up and realize what a great community and resource this site is.

 

[Alegre]

Well...I did my part and signed up!!

 

[SavageEagle]

Welcome! Glad to have you!
