Excellent work! I like the graphics on the front side. Very eye catching.

You should be able to get index card stock in 8.5x11 at an office supply store. You'll need a paper cutter to cut the cards out to size. You can get the Avery pre-perferated business card sheets as well, but it's a more expensive.

Very well done, but it's a shame that you didn't have someone proofread it to correct all the grammatical errors.

Given that the overall population is somewhat grammatically deficient, I believe as long as the message is understood, a few grammatical errors won't be noticed. :)

As for some folks (the fervent anti-gunners) the text might as well be printed in Swahili. :banghead:

When people ask me why I carry a gun I tell them, "Because I can't carry a cop"

I dont need a card for that. LOL:celebrate

I'm having 500 made at the print shop. Copied onto a disk and dropped off. They will be ready in a week. Thanks.

I'm glad all of you are using this card :-)  I spent a lot of time on it, but the time spent is definitely worth the cause.  Let me know how you like it :-)

Just want to keep it professional looking. I think it will help the cause a bit. I used to make my own business cards and when I had a company make them for me I noticed a better call back with the cards. Maybe just me. 500 was the minimum they would make. I figure I can drop the at the local gun shops and ranges. It was a little on the pricey side but, most of the money went for first time set up fees. Either way you look at it if it helps the cause it's worth every penny.

My computer is blocked.  No good.

Must be a firewall on your computer or something... I have no clue why it would do that otherwise :-(


Perhaps he has a POS Hewlett Packard like I do.

Hi Rolex,

Was wondering if you were aware of any commercial operation that could print these in boxes of 500 such as they do for personal business cards?

Would love to purchase several hundred for my use.

Thanks,

Martin

I use 123print.com for my business cards and other printed stuff. It's pretty cheap.
