Application: Click here

Rules

1. The challenge is initiated by drawing your coin, firmly place it on the bar, table, or tapping it loudly (this should produce an audible noise which can be easily heard by those being challenged). If you accidentally drop your coin and it makes an audible sound upon impact, then you have just “accidentally” initiated a coin check. (This is called paying the price for improper care of your coin.)
2. The response consists of all those GOC members that have been issued a coin being challenged drawing their coin in a like manner.
3. If you are challenged and are unable to properly respond, you must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and the group being challenged.
4. If everyone being challenged responds in the correct manner, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for all those people they challenged.
5. Failure to buy a round of drinks is a despicable crime and will require that you turn-in your Coin to the Gun Owners of Canada Admin.
6. Only 100 coins have been made, there may be more in the future, but no plans at this time.
7. Application for Coin must be made by only Active users, in good standing, that are Registered to www.gunownersofcanada.ca

When-Where


Coin checks are permitted, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE.

Exceptions


There are no exceptions to the rules if you apply for a coin you accept the challenge. At the time of the challenge you are permitted to locate your coin if it is with the general area of where you are (same room)
If you still cannot reach it — Your Buying!

Tracking

Coins will be listed 1-100 (more possibly in the future) and updated as issued, lost, or turned in.

Loss of a Coin

A member that loses a coin, will not have it replaced, and can not reapply for a coin, unless the coin is a stolen in which case the member should contact [email protected]

Coin Turn in

A Member may turn in a coin for an extra entry into a giveaway that is listed as a extra giveaway entry. The coin holder must email [email protected] for mailing details and the coin must be mailed to the Administrator prior to the end of the giveaway. Coin turn in for Extra entry does not guarantee that you will win, it's all chance.

A Member may turn in a coin for $50.00 credit to the GOC store for instock items only. The coin must be mailed to the Administrator prior to the credit being issued.

Trading or giving a member your Coin

Not permitted, turn in your coin if you don't want it.

Reapplication for another coin

If a member is reapplying for a Coin after a Coin turn, only rule 8 and 9 will apply to Reapplication.

how did i know that was going to be one of the first questions....

4000 posts! At my rate I can apply in 12 more years. Well that's what I get for being a lurker

Owell another thread to ignore. Is only for old members with many posts.

Ignore? Join me in the bushes the lurking is great over here

No that is not true, there are more than one way, the 4000 posts is the easy way.

It wouldn't be a challenge coin, without it being worth while to get

4. Members with 4000 or more posts and on good terms with GOC may apply.

Oh.

Folks...you don't need 4000 posts to get a coin. Read the entire first post. There's other ways to get one...

Unfortunately #8 Calling dibs on #69 wasn't one of them... lol...

I guess I gotta start posting on every thread.

4000 posts? Nope. Contributing excellence to the community? I've contributed, but don't know I'd label it as excellence. Looks like one of these coins is not in my future

Okay so you can get one if other coin members nominate you. I thought that was in addition to the 4K posts

Yeah R&R rancher I think that's how it works... You certainly cleared that up for me.... In an excellent way I'd even say. Yup pure excellence on your part.

Coins look cool, not my thing but the idea behind them is cool.

How about some love for some of the first members?

I read the entire post. You need to have 4000 posts or live in Alberta so you can buy drinks for a bunch of people and a few other impossible terms. The chances of talking to a Mod is right up there with being a contributor of excellence to the community when everything a person says a Mod jumps down his throat with another idea.

If you read the entire post, you're not understanding it.

Its a bold strategy lets see if it pays off. Seriously though nice design! Makes me wonder where all my challenge coins buggered off to...

Cmon guys/gals.. GOC put up quite a bit of money to offer this to the members... Yes it may take some work to get, but it was not meant to be easy. We want this is to be a challenge to receive. We are not forcing anybody to participate, but we would definitely like everybody too. There will be some given away by: Admins, Moderators and you; the members.

I think rules 7&8 are essentially the same for the process, and 9 could be merged into it with a little re-wording. So three rules could be reduced to just one.

Well then. I guess it's time to start buttering up to a few of da' Chiefs.

With only 100 I think it's pretty unlikely that 2 are ever going to come close enough to achieve critical mass

Plus I never go to bars :)

FYI the lowest post count that has been awarded a coin has 9 posts, and is an active member.

The 4K posts is the easy way to get it, there are other ways guys.

Maybe, but perhaps my dignity has more value to me :)

Thanks once again GoC folks for this opportunity to be part of the friendly firearms forum fraternity! Coin or no coin, we are all brothers (and sisters) in arms!


p.s. I filled out the application and totally forgot that I had 4,000 + posts. Can I apply more than once and use post count as a reason?

That's okay, I knew I had over 4,000 posts but didn't mention it in the "reason" box because I thought they were just asking for my opinion on why I wanted a coin.

Have I mentioned how attractive all the mods and admin are?
Because I'm literally always saying that...

Hmm.. I'm a little short on posts. Any mods feel like recommending me for a coin? :D

I liked BSD's idea for a fund raising coin. This seems gratuitous, maybe I'm missing something

I got the great one's number :cool1:

Coin or no coin I think this is a great way for GOC to again rise above other firearms sites and show what separates us from the pack.

Kudos to everyone involved.

having said that, I have spoken to most of the mods/admin over the years...what with infractions and such...does that count or do I have to beg in Pm's :)

Den/Haywire1/Kmo/Rory... show a Brother some love ;D


66 is my number :)

Does a contest entry for this giveaway send an entry confirmation email?

I'm partial to 42.. still hunting sponsors. :D

Its not a contest entry, instead of making another sub page I used an existing one.

And no it will not

I like 58... Guess more post w***ing I need to do to make it to 4000 posts. Do you love me yet?

Looked at all my other coins. They're either # 58 or 85.

Those are georgeous. Anyone that gets one of those suckers should carry it with pride!

I agree. Coin or no coin, this is a great way to show members that GOC cares. And all of this on top of the fantastic giveaways that wouldn't be possible without even better sponsors. I myself am proud to call GOC my home for firearms and political news/information.

Thankyou to all of the GOC founders for creating this community, and Thankyou to all the mods for all your hard work keeping this party on track.

Hmm.. Conversions.. ok..

So the average pound of normal bacon has about 24 rations (Rashers, in this case).. 1000 R divided by 24 R per pound.. rounded up.. 42 pounds of bacon; my desired coin number! Coincidence? Hmmm.

Does it have to be beer? can it be pack of bacon?

...and you get 42 if you calculate in base 13!

Anybody know who this "GOC Moderator" cat is?

I need some cred for a coin...we should be tight by now...the number of infractions I've got so far with that handle attached ;D

While I thank everyone for the enthusiasm of wanting a coin.

Applying doesn't mean that you will a receive a coin.

You have to fall into one of the 9 categories.


1. All Admins or former Admins will receive the lowest number coins available at the time.
2. All Moderators will receive the lowest number coins after admins available at the time.
3. Former Mods on good terms and active with GOC may apply for a coin.
4. Members with 4000 or more posts and on good terms with GOC may apply, OR
5. Dealers and Manufacturers may apply but submit a valid reason for application, OR
6. Members may apply for a coin if, 5 (five)coin members put their name up, stating they speak for the member as contributing excellence to the community, and stating what they have done. (must be approved by admin), OR
7. Members may apply for a coin if, the member has spoken to 3 (three) Moderators, those moderators agree to speak for the member as contributing excellence to the community, and stating what they have done. (must be approved by admin), OR
8. 3 (three) moderators putting forth a member, may award a coin to a member if they are considered contributing excellence to the community. (must be approved by admin), OR
9. Administrators may award a coin to a member if they are considered contributing excellence to the community.

Lines 1 through 4 are pretty simple to understand.

5 is for dealers and manufacturers

6 through 7 you have to prove that you have done something outstanding to better the community (eg contributing excellence to the community), not necessarily GOC, maybe the firearms community, maybe your local community.

Even if you apply via 6 and 7 you have to still show that you did something worthy of the coin, this isn't just a buddy buddy coin, that you can get people to agree to your name for a coin.

8 and 9 are the moderators and the admins looking at the community and seeing who really deserves a pat on the back.

Sadly being a member since 2012, doesn't count, posting doesn't count unless you hit 4000, and being a nice guy doesn't count.

There are 15 members with post counts over 4,000, another 12 close with 3,000 - 4,000.

We put in the post count because anyone that spends that much time posting on GOC really does spend the time to increase the content of the site and drive members to the site.

Honestly when it came to these coins, it came down to two things, 1. Do I give them away, and make it worth while since we paid alot of them, or 2. Do I just make cash off these and give them to the first 100 that come along.

GOC picked number 1.

Ever since we started GOC we wanted to better the community, by giving back to you with giveaways and discounts to our sponsors. While my partner and I love cash, since we are a business, we would rather have fun and get people to stand out and better the community.

Please do not apply for the coin unless you can prove you have done something outstanding to deserve it.

Kind of nice seeing them not all go at once. I look forward to seeing someone rewarded one for excellence in the future.

Thanks for the clarification jwire.

too bad those look pretty nice, but i am out of qualification.

The ministries of silly walks is quite strict I believe Monty Python have covered this issue in depth. It's a funding issue

Yeeaahhhhh, no.
Well okay, maybe. First let me sort through the hours of crap GoPro footage I have from 3gun and such this year. Did you know that if you record at 1080p at 60 frames per second you can amass a terabyte of footage PDQ.

Actually I've seen strewth walk. I'm not sure we'd need much funding.

Yeah, that's how I worked my way through college. People would pay me not to walk beside them. Because of the silliness, I'm sure.

My 2cents, give it to the guys creating content, you want them to feel valued and it'll work as a customer loyalty program they'll make more content and it'll keep bumping up the forum which will get you more money.

I do not think this about "more money". The motley crew running this ship have shown that the members are the forum and the contests, giveaways and now these challenge coins are in my view a thanks for making this forum the best forum. Of the many I frequent, GOC stands above them all because of the diverse membership and a true Canadian politeness that comes with them. :canada::Beer time:(bacon)

Don't forget the bacon.

If I formulated bacon scented gun lube, you think that win me one of these Nobel prize looking coins?

Also, I'm glad I caught that auto correct before hitting reply. Pretty sure my iPhone is racist.

Is the bacon gun lube a typical gun oil? Or is it safe to ingest... I'm not asking for me of course but a friend....

because its A common name for the Canon de 75 modèle 1897, a French World War 1 gun.???

Well...........I have to say I am honored to be a recipient of the coin....It really does mean alot to me guys!! I still am unsure why in my own mind but we will digress on that issue as someone(jwirecom109) gave me their reason.

I thank GOC for everything they do for this community and hope that I can remain a part of this awesome group, community and hobby for many years to come!!

and here is to post number 10!! lolol

:cheers

I'm not certain I understand the idea of the coins. Could you define 'drawing' the coin better for me?

The challenge, which can be made at any time, begins with the challenger drawing his/her coin, and slapping or placing the coin on the table or bar. In noisy environments, continuously rapping the challenge coin on a surface may initiate the challenge. (Accidentally dropping a challenge coin is considered to be a deliberate challenge to all present.) Everyone being challenged must immediately produce the coin for their organization and anyone failing to do so must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and everyone else who has their challenge coin. However, should everyone challenged be able to produce their coin, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for the group.-wikipedia-

'drawing' means to produce the coin from your person.

Awwww... I figured drawing involved an etch a sketch :(

Its popular in the military. Normally would get coined once you completed basic and in your unit. IE presenter would have a coin in his hand and give you a hand shake. Welcoming you to the group.

They can also be used as a thank you gift.

I though it was a fast draw thing, like gunfighters from the wild west, but throwing the coins at each other like throwing stars. If they don't have razor sharp edges I'm losing interest.

It was suggested that coin holders should have a coin symbol in their user title.....something like our Canadian Forces members have with the Maple Leaf.

Thoughts ?

Why not? The goal of the coin is to show appreciation, and it's an easy way to show people who are less likely to be asshats to newcomers etc. And then we don't have to come over to this thread to check.

Special profile pic wouldn't be used too much and look like one poster on first scroll. And if it's a posters colour, some named might be getting out as a rainbow to cover all the colours they would qualify to have up there anyways

Would be kind of nice to have a visual reminder of other coin-carriers so you remember whom you can challenge :)

I don't think it is a good idea. I think it could be misconstrued as elitism. Might even inadvertently intimidate new members.

I like the additional line with coin number idea. I think the people who get these coins will not be the kind of throw their internet weight around kind of people, so anyone who takes it as an elitist thing is probably a "participation medal everyone gets an award" kind of person and should be ignored for the greater good.

I wasn't looking for credit Den, just ribbin ya a bit...cuz that's what we do... :)

to the other....

I highly doubt there would be any "elitism" to worry about.

coin # is inconsequential really. Anyone that notices the little coin could be directed to the ongoing thread. Would give other members something to shoot for if they so desire...

I was thinking that it would make it easier to know how many drinks in a round :)

I have internet weight ? Damn....and I thought I was just fat in the real world. Hey...wait a minute....you just called me fat didn't you !?!?!?! I'm ooooooofended. You hurt my internet feelings without a trigger warning !!!! The NERVE !!! :rolleyes:

I don't think there's a need for an additional symbol or note in a user's profile. When other organizations honor someone with a challenge coin, it's usually not accompanied by a medal, t-shirt or bumper sticker.

:agree:

To be honest I have never heard of a challenge coin before so I'm not privy to their use other than what was posted in the thread.

I don't recall mention of a medal, t-shirt or bumper sticker. No gaudy, over the top "look at me" bs.

The original thought was strictly for a discreet little symbol of recognition.

At a glance we can all see that zulu served (and we thank you for your service)

I thought it would be nice to know at a glance who has/had contributed above and beyond to the firearms community...and most importantly, how many drinks in a round :)


...thinking about it now I see it as a positive way to entice members to earn one. As an ongoing thing it may motivate members/new members to give back to the firearms community where they may not have. A thread they may/may not see isn't much of catalyst for contributing. A symbol that makes them curious to know more (and if possible takes them to the thread if clicked) could go a long way to adding contributors on a grander scale. Who knows what motivates people to go above and beyond? Look at all the folks out playing pokyman...

I won't share my views on thieves lest my potty mouth earns another infraction...but I think we all share that view.

Coin 75 now includes a hidden prize for the new owner.

What?! Dirty Bastards! I hope that there is a thorough investigation, but alas I think firing a thief is probably not possible with union protection.

everyone on the list (except some mods) have been sent.

Did anyone get theirs yet?

I just realized that posts in the Word Association Thread don't count towards post count - no wonder it's taken me so long to break 1000, forget 4000!

So I'm curious - what other threads don't count towards your post count?

I'd like coin #54 if some fine gents would speak up for me. As for contributing to the community I enjoy educating and introducing new shooters in a safe and fun manor. I encourage as many people as possible to get their RPAL and engage in busting myths on social media.

ugh, i reported this one aswell, Canada Post is making excuses, but atleast they are ponying up the cash to replace the coins...

A PM has been sent to all members that should have had theirs issued to them in the mail.

If you get it please PM me and if not (within a week) or a letter shows up opened without the coin let me know that too, Canada Post is refunding the cost to reproduce the coins, but it may be awhile before they are completed.

What about sandwiching them between 2 pieces of cardboard and stuffing them into the envelope? That way they won't be able to feel that its a coin.

it's possible, but the gap of the machines compared to the width of the coin isn't a problem they check first.

The most of the envelopes i have seen have been opened clear as day to remove the coin

Nothing here yet, but yesterday was mail day for us. It should probably arrive tomorrow. I'll keep an eye out.

I know a few people who work at CP, and I love em, they wouldn't take a piece of candy without asking first, but I absolutely despise canada post.
Nothing here yet, but being PEI, probably get here late next week.

Mine arrived yesterday , the envelope was starting to tear open on the end already , I wonder if they're handled roughly that the coins aren't getting tossed into the bottom of the sorting containers ?
The coins look cool as hell , and added to the fact that mine arrived before BSD's is even better lol !

I've gotten nothing yet over here, and Foxer is just about in the same postal code as me. Very strange.

Well stick with it because it is a fun and interesting hobby. I'm sure you already have, but set passing with "honours" as your goal so you get HF privileges.

Happy to see that mine arrived as well, thank you GOC!

However, the envelope was torn open and taped back together, as seen in the pic.

It looks as thought someone was gonna pinch it until they saw what it wasn't...

Congrats!

Did you guys put tape on the envelopes? Mine had tape too, but didn't appear opened.

Pretty obvious what happened to mine, the envelope had been ripped open at the corner to get the coin out...just glad it made it here!

their taped to seal it that's all,

All photos have been of the envelopes opened

So re-Issues of the Coin, I'm planning to do a Run once I know more of who lost theirs.

As such i'm considering still doing a numbered coin, but adding a R to it as a Re-issue. e.g. 6-R

If mine doesn't get here tomorrow, I think you can call it MIA. It's never taken more than 3 or 4 days to get anything here from Calgary, and it's been what...2 weeks ? Canada Post in action again.

yeah trust me its a daily thing updating them what has gone missing

I GOT MINE. Envelope tampered with, but the coin was intact. Took forever though

Mine arrived, envelope in fine shape.
Hooray!

Got my Princess Auto flyer and my power bill today. No coin though. She's gone.

Any chance the mail sorting machines are having issues with coin? Maybe tape cardboard on each side or bubble wrap envelopes from now on?

You mean like tearing corners off just big enough to get the coins out?

Sounds more like a cranial malfunction than a mechanical one to me...

Pretty obvious we aren't paying them enough if they have to rob us just to make ends meet... :(

Call the police, the ombudsman, your MP and MPP/MLA. Put as much pressure on them as we can. hell, even get the media involved, maybe The Rebel as well...

well after two weeks of waiting, and 5 levels of management i've been effectively told the following. (in short to sum it they told me to F off)

1. Coins are not allowed to be sent letter mail, effectively countering what the post office wrongly told me, and though Canada Post is liable for the loss because they didn't tell me the proper information they will not do anything about it.
2. No one is willing or has a high enough ability to refund the outstanding amount of cost to replace the coins.
3. Canada Post staff has stolen the coins as they after 20+ days can't find them at any of the lost items areas, or undeliverable mail offices. (my interpretations of what happened)
4. Canada Post sucks and should be sold.



GOC is going to front the cash to have these coins that are missing redone and sent out again.

Coins Re-Issued will have an R behind the number to note as a re-issue

Sorry for the wait on action, we are contacting the minting company tonight.

Thank you very much for doing this, Jwire. That sucks.

Silver lining, silver lining....ah ha! Now I get a pirate coin! RRrrrrrrrrr! Must respond to challenge with a squint.

Well i'm not sure whom you're referring to with the 'whale' comment, but i'd bloody well clarify that before CC reads this thread and gets any unfortunate wrong impressions if I were you young man.

(and as a matter of fact it DOES come with an eyepatch and pegleg, Mr fashion-conscious-pirate.)

if i ever qualify for a coin with the amount of infractions i have, i will meet the guy personally to accept it

I have a guy trustworthy going to Red Deer Sat and through Calgary end of Oct if you want delivery to Edmonton/Lloydminster/Bonniville.

In the ongoing saga of the coins, the minting company now wants 4 times the cost that i was recently quoted to just engrave the coins.

As such they will be coming non engraved, at which time they may or may not be engraved before going to their original homes.

Some looking alone what $2-5 per character

Are you sure? We have dozens of them here, i use them and have keys stamped all the time. Might be worth pokeing into.

Anyway, even 10 bucks a coin isn't SO bad - i bet we could do a 'sponsor a coin' drive and get enough people to donate 10 bucks to cover it. I'm in for a coin if it comes to that.

Well see, there's your problem. Instead of chasing the mobile locksmith van around Calgary, you should have laid an ambush (perhaps with a "broken" Kawasaki?) on their most popular route.

Buy a stamp set from Princess Auto and do them yourself :)

Most jewelers engrave as well...

Multiple thefts.
Multiple frauds (if CP took money to provide insurance and won't pay out).

Contact the RCMP.

Yep. Lots of places sell different sizes, you can buy just numbers or letters. Maybe do a -1 instead of R and no letters needed. Sets cheap typically though.

I've punched lots of brass disks with different sizes. Practice, draw a line with a pencil if hand stamping, reset in the mark after every strike. Harder hits not always better. Depending on curve, multiple hits to fill in. But nice results can be had.

Can’t get away from this anymore, it’s the age of me first, that’s mine and I’ll sue you. Gone are the days of the handshake honor and your word is good as gold, and a hard day's work for a good wage. I miss thoughts days.

It's not censoring, it's reminding us of our manners...you can say whatever you want...but it might cost you...me...

Infractions are like Granny rapping you on the knuckles for reaching instead of asking at the supper table...

Some other good news, the new packaging seems to be postie proof, or at least postie resistant. Mine showed up yesterday.

Wow. I thought the first ones were nice, the new ones are a thing of beauty.

Making these coins is really a classy move, and the best part is that your forum is so good that people come here for free anyway.

It is quite doable and easier than you may think. Pick a subject and ramble on for posts on end. Show up with a project you are working on and give a day by day update. Comment on other threads, everyone has an opinion(just keep it polite)(most of the time). If you really want to get a coin, bribe the moderators and current coin holders with copious amounts of quality bacon, everyone has a price! (JK)! Enjoy your time spent here and get involved, it's the members who make the forum what it is.

Or say hello to everyone who posts on the introduction section...

Or take over the word association thread with a singular stream of consciousness.

That could be veddy interestink

Oh, it is - we are discussing alternate ways to get a coin.

For example, contributing Excellence to gov't:

If you're going to use a cream pie, it should be filled with steelies and be made of something not nearly as delicious as actual cream pie.

The whole point of a cream pie is that it's embarrassing, takes a minute to scrape off, but can't actually hurt anyone. And of course makes the nightly news. I admit I'm not up on my cream pie throwing etiquette, but I think throwing the aluminum pie plate as well is a no no.

There were a rash of them thrown during the last federal Liberal government, at least one of which the thrower having purchased the pie less than an hour before the event, honestly foolishly regretfully didn't wait long enough for it to thaw. The thrower and the MP were lucky it didn't hit the face and draw blood. Basically it was a two pound frozen rock.

I was referencing the Arab or Muslim act of great indignity by the throwing of footwear. Not necessarily any actual injury. The act is a greater shame than a jovial cream pie at our resident cream puff.

Now, is there a different or equal credit towards a GOC coin or other award for following either course of embarrassing or humiliating our fearful leader?

Ok you've had your fun, please keep it on topic and not derail this thread.

There were a rash of them thrown during the last federal Liberal government, at least one of which the thrower having purchased the pie less than an hour before the event, honestly foolishly regretfully didn't wait long enough for it to thaw. The thrower and the MP were lucky it didn't hit the face and draw blood. Basically it was a two pound frozen rock.

RangeBob has been hanging out on the coin thread tooooo much

COIN him now in front of the angry MOB

right in the change purse! ;D

May I nominate Kodiakken for a coin on merit of him being the most welcoming GOCer?

Howdy back at central Alberta, Ken!

Just wanted to suggest this here, before it hijacks an introduction thread by a new member.

Quote:

Seeing as how Alberta has a feral swine problem, I await the first Great GOC Bacon Shoot. I think it would be a great event, get great publicity if played right, and could be a wonderful fundraiser with a killer afterparty.

---

How viable is this?

^^ Why in the coin thread?

Because it would be a promotion that might tie in to a related challenge.

My Challenge coin!

Given that I’ve been here since the VERY beginning, you should realize that I’m just a bit slower than the others to reach my apex.

Has the website had disk drive problems?
Just wondering if anybody broke a mirror.

Want to say Thank you, I got mine today. Goes with the many military ones I got.

I feel like I had one of these coins at one point in time, how do I check if it was a limited purchase?

Maybe change it from +1 to -1 and see what happens at “Count Zero” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Zero)
