I wonder if anyone ever really wins one and where does all your personal information go? To a anti-gun group to be freely published on the web or in newspapers? If you give it to them its okay for them to publish everything you fill out. That info is not worth $357 to me.
Just my paraniod side emerging. I worry if I'm paranoid enough? ;) ;) :)

I can tell you that I know my info goes to a couple gun magazines.  I receive (2) "complimentary" firearm magazines each month.   ...no complaint from me there.   

I've signed up for their Give-away for a couple years now (I think).   no problems that I know of of my info getting out to the wrong places/people.

Man that looks nice.  You can bet they make a heckuva lot more $$$ from selling all of the personal contact information, than they spend on the "giveaways."

I hope whoever gets the Handi is also appreciative of the deluge of junk mail, e-spam and dinnertime phone calls that are sure to follow.  It won't be me; I lost interest when I saw the "phone number" box...

I don't care about them asking for my phone no... I'm on the "Do-Not-Call" list with the fed (hasn't stopped the nuisance calls, but did cut them WAY down.)

More importantly, I let my answering machine pick up EVERY time the phone rings... if someone wants me they know to announce themselves.

Yep everyone will get my real name when they announce me as the winner. I just feel bad that everyone else has to lose so that I can win.

I've never been call, and the only other thing that I know of that they shared was my mailing address.   I now receive a copy of Guns & Ammo and Shooting times for free each month.   ...which is saving me about $10 every month from having to buy them at the news stand.

So that's why I've been getting Shooting Times for the last year and a half?   :)

I've got anti-spam software on the 'puter and I don't answer the phone if it rings during dinner I let the answering machine get it - solicitors almost never leave a message - and the junk mail just goes to the burn barrel.
