Just got an e-mail from Doug. To say that he is extremely emotional over the generosity of LaRue Tactical and all you arfcommers would be an understatement.

He has gone from a very dark place to seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

In the 20+ years I have been here I think..wow..it can't get any better than this..and you people step up and prove me wrong..yet again. It is extremely humbling to be part of this...thank you.



Doug has some logistics to sort out in regards to a method to accept the donations..one of those being the Patriot Act in regards to large deposits in bank accounts.

He is extremely overwhelmed so this may take a day or three.



Mark..I will e-mail you the info when I get it from Doug.

Mark - you can split these up to be  door#4 or pile them on with a rifle(1 or2).

CK/CL Dillo (new) and AR-Gold Trigger that I never shot, pulled em out of lockup for photos, ready to ship on your command ...  Glad to see we are crushing this fundraiser for Doug (M4-CQBR)


Very nice!

I happen to really like my AR gold.  As for the EE idea, if you're looking to raise a little extra, I could do another $156 donated straight to the giveforward page.  This, combined with the $20,000 through the dillo sales, would put him at the $25,000 goal.  If someone can donate more but that's all I have on tap right now after the dillos.

No problems with the trigger - it just doesn't sound right to ask a guy who has graciously taken valuable time away from promoting his new in-house triggers to include another brand in this giveaway.

Mark if you only want the dillo, we can let n00g7 have the ARgold as he proposed and he can give the cash to doug's page?

It's a 'gift' to Doug from LT how he uses it to pay for a life saving operation is his choice.

Gifts aren't taxable below $x / yr I'd check with someone other than the son of a retired agent but that's my recollection and I'm betting Mark's accountant can make sure to keep it above board and off Doug's and Mark's respective backsides.

Is there a way for Dougs family to set up a account strictly for medical billings that would not fall under a taxing?  Almost like a non-profit without going through everything to set up a non-profit.  I'm just spit balling as it comes to my mind.  I don't want to see Doug or his family get burdened with such a large amount after the fact.  As far as Mark, I'm sure he has his people looking at how it affects him and to minimize his $$$ for these things.  Either way, what Mark does is incredible and selfless beyond anything.  It makes me want to when I have the extra dough buy a complete rifle from him.  I'm looking at a few mounts now and need to finalize them to get that out of the way.

Haha. As cool as that would be, I don't think that's what they've got in mind.

Chances are I'll never have a chance to meet the man himself. But with that said, I appreciate what he does for all of us in the shooting community. I'll have to continue to thank him from afar.

The money donated to Doug is not taxable in the eyes of the IRS, as it is a gift. He should keep the donations in a separate bank account and have documentation of where is came from because the IRS may want proof of where the funds came from.  Also, I am a CPA, so I am not just blowing smoke.

PS- The donations are not tax deductible to the donors because they are not donating to an actual charitable organization.

Thanks for the answer, I'm sure Dougs family will be happy as we here will be.  I don't think any of us here are worried about it being tax deductible.

PS- The donations are not tax deductible to the donors because they are not donating to an actual charitable organization.

In the 20+ years I have been here I think..wow..it can't get any better than this..and you people step up and prove me wrong..yet again. It is extremely humbling to be part of this...thank you.

Doug has some logistics to sort out in regards to a method to accept the donations..one of those being the Patriot Act in regards to large deposits in bank accounts.
He is extremely overwhelmed so this may take a day or three.

Mark..I will e-mail you the info when I get it from Doug.


If you need any answers on the tax side of things let me know. Depending on how this is handled this could be a taxable event for Doug.


This, we don't want Doug to get hit with a 39% tax on this if it can be avoided.

Get it sorted out ...

Thanks for that. We are working on the steps that need to be taken so that no laws are broken and we don't experience a "no good deeds go unpunished" moment.

Give us time to line things up and we will update everyone when the transaction is completed.

This is what I've grown to love about this place. We all have skills in different areas and can help each other so much. Mark and the others involved in this gives me new hope in humanity. It's not everyday someone is able to get this kind of help and it warms my heart to know we have people in this world, that even though we may have never met, are willing to reach out in help so much. I'm happy that I was able to at least help a little. Good job everyone involved!

I have seen the members here step up many many times without question to help someone they have never met and probably never will..which is why I get so angry when I see the media paint gun owners as crazy redneck 1 step away from serial killer crazies.

Nothing is reported because they are check deposits. That's paper trail enough. The only time things are reported is when it's a cash deposit over 10k. Even then it's not necessarily reported. The banks just document it just incase big brother asks. Just so you know if you were to make to cash deposits of 5k that's called structuring and that's a big no no and it's all documented. Then you're in trouble with the Feds and what they call a UAR (unusual activities report) is filed. I work in the banking industry.

Word, in my profession, I rarely get to see stuff like this.  I'm just glad I'm on maternity leave, because if I wasn't, I would not have been able to partake!
