    Ok, before this winds up heading like another giveaway did in the past where a member carried on about privacy concerns, there is a simple solution, if you do not want your info out there at all, dont join the giveaway contest. Our privacy policy is as clear as we can make it, and also as secure. The fact that we do these giveaways on a regular basis sort of requires we verify information. Internet identities are not as secure as people would think, just accessing any site logs your ip address, which can lead to all kinds of discoveries.

    I am not bashing those with questions, however as I said, the solution is simple, dont join he contest if your that concerned. This isnt a thread about debating the policy or anything else, it is a giveaway thread, and like jwire stated, with any giveaway, esp firearms, certain details need to be provided.

    Please re-read my post. I was not arguing any policies but merely suggesting this could be done differently (for latter giveaways implied) in order to better ensure personal information security.

    This was meant as a constructive comment, not to start a debate. Facts are that highly secure sites get hacked and data is compromised everyday. And you won't have me believe GOC is a such highly secure site to start with. I've been in this field long enough to know.

    Now, if you will excuse me, I'll shut-up and go back under my rock.

    Don't enter then.

    Its part of the giveaway, don't like it don't enter.

    Anyone that has a problem with it front up $2700 and do your own giveaway, just saying.

    The site is secure and so is the data, no one is forcing you to enter, but if you want to then follow the rules.

    Whoot! Sweet left-handed bullpup action!

    I've already told all my friend about GoC, and he's already a member. Guess I have to make new friends to get us to 12,000.
