Just wanted to pass this along to anyone who knows Jake and RMR. One of his employees had a fire in his house and Jake has put up a Burn-Out go fund me to help him and his family. Let's show some support. See link below:

Many of you have had the pleasure of speaking with Joe Durnbaugh in our shipping department. He's a retired Forest Service officer who decided to spend his retirement helping out with the customer service at RMR. On Saturday November 14th Joe woke up to the sound of rounds cooking off in his garage. He and his family were blessed to have been alerted to the fire as his fire alarms were apparently dead. (Yet another example of how guns save lives)! Everyone escaped with their lives and relative health. However, as you can see by the photos, pretty much everything he owns was destroyed in the fire. Whatever wasn't burned was destroyed by water damage. The fire started in his garage (bad wiring or rodent chewing is suspected). Insurance will take care of the vast majority of his costs, but it won't cover absolutely everything that he and his wife lost. They could use some money to get them by until they can rebuild. Even at 70 years old, Joe is a prolific competitive shooter who had amassed quite the collection of firearms and ammo. Almost all of his competition guns were destroyed. I am not really sure how much money he will need to get through all this, but feel free to donate as much as you want. I've promised him that some blessings will come from this major loss. If Joe gets enough money from this funraiser to "for reals retire" we will miss him but I promise to be happy for him.
