Gun Owners of Canada Challenge Coin Official Thread.

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!!

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.
 
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.

PLEASE READ ***

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
 
No Harbl yet?
It's gold coloured, shaped like money, has an elitist air to it, sign of helpful to community.
 
Would be kind of nice to have a visual reminder of other coin-carriers so you remember whom you can challenge :)
