" wouldn't you think a grantor would look closely at a potential grantee's track record..."
Just what I was wondering.
Remember, there are two types of grants that are being discussed here, research grants and procurement grants for needed goods or services.
One source for possible grants that Griffin identified is through HLS. He described a scenario where a grant may be awarded for hazmat suits. What does that have to do with the meth gun? As much as griffin may like investors to think of the meth gun as an established product it's a far cry from a hazmat suit!
A very bad example by Griffin.
And don't count on March as a production date, that would be foolish IMO. It was an eye opener to hear Griffin claim the "good news" was that the Tucson Police confirmed that the meth gun can detect meth! LOL I though that detecting trace amounts of meth not visible to the naked eye was already a well established fact. So why would that be the good news? now Big red flag IMO!!!
How about a research grant? Can they even qualify for a research grant if the meth gun is already being field tested and is tentatively scheduled for production in March? Demmo47?
Even if they apply for a research grant will they be asked if they have ever received grant funding from other government agencies for the same project? Is the meth gun a niche embodiment of the PS3 which was dismissed by the Army and Navy? Can the IDD distinguish itself as a different technology?
I don't know, but with CDEX being a closely watched company maybe they don't want to take the chance. It's safer to fleece trustworthy investors than the gubermint (TM- Xeno).
RA, do you think Cappy has already considered the above? If you do, then why is he ranting and raving about grants? Hmmmmm? LOL I'm waiting any moment for him to go "open letter" on Griffin!
Grants seem irrelevant to me. I don't see a research grant happening for the reasons above and Demmo's "financially responsible" explanation. And I can't see a first responder agency receiving a grant to procure the meth gun for a long, long time- assuming it makes it into production, and that's a big ASSUMPTION!
