Dugan needs our help! (GoFundMe in the description below)

As many of you know, or should know, Dugan Ashley created the incredible series CarnikCon. In my opinion, CarnikCon still stands as the most entertaining, smart and wonderfully weird firearms content ever put forth onto the YouTubes.
A few years ago now, which at this point seems like a lifetime ago, I had the opportunity to hangout with Dugan Ashley. It was like meeting a hero in real life to me. P&S – Primary & Secondary brought us together, and not only did we get to hang, but we made some of what I think are some of the most fun videos ever produced here on InRangeTV.
Sadly we didn’t stay in contact after those few days. Life being what it is, I have not spoken to Dugan since. Those few days are beyond memorable, however – not only in the content we created together, but just being having the opportunity to spend time with such a brilliant individual.
Sadly, CarnikCon had to end, and Dugan is dealing with the ever increasing effects of MS. The effects are now significant enough he recently released a video asking for whatever help may be able to be provided, not only for him, but his family. He has VA support but that is, as the VA is, limited.
A GoFundMe appeared almost immediately on the internet to raise funds for Dugan and I saw it early on, but to be honest, I was hesitant to post it out of fear that those funds may not actually make it to Dugan or his family. Additionally, I’ve been trying to get into contact with him for the last few days without success.
A recent update to the GoFundme has clarified that they are now in contact with the family, so it is at this point that feel comfortable sharing this. If you have the ability, please consider helping Dugan and his family out in these trying times.
