But if he had been VOLUNTEERING to stand in the street, doing some fundraising as a LEO, and a drunk hit him, would he be under his State retirement/disability/workmen's comp or what?

What about people with donation buckets at intersections?

Not necessarily -- some disability/comp policies are written so that they can only be utilized if the injury occurs on the job in the regular capacity.

I give to Firemen's Boots. Several times a day when they are out. <sigh>
Beware the Lynnie Bucket! I take $100's and bottles of Veuve Clicquot!
How about black turquoise?! ;-)
The only thing I don't like about roadside collections is the feeling of guilt if you don't give.

Douglas, you have black turquoise? Dangitall, who knew??
The thing with 30-A is they literally get you coming and going. I've had to say, "I just came through here about 30 min. ago." We all have our causes and choose to give when we can whether there is a bucket at the All Way Stop or not.

Please Douglas, don't feel guilty. We'll accept a wave and a smile, and if you give anything on top of that it is appreciated. We do this for those with the disease and their families and it is effective, and has been for years. I for one will not apologize for how we do it. There are many groups who do this type of fundraising and there are many I won't give to. We have over time moved off 98 onto 30A and Scenic Gulf Dr trying to continue to raise money and try not to interfere with traffic. As a firefighter I am happy that our community and our Fire Department is supportive of our efforts. For those that have issues, come on out and hang with us,shoot the breeze and hold a boot, shoot I have an extra helmet you can wear, you'll look cool.

There is nothing wrong with what you do and how you do it. All functions in life have some degree of risk, some just more than others. DI makes a good point, though, even though many often pass up some seeking contributions, many, including me, feel guilty about passing up the fire fighters and rightly so. They do so much good for all of us in so many different ways.Please Douglas, don't feel guilty. We'll accept a wave and a smile, and if you give anything on top of that it is appreciated.

When you donate, they give you a sticker. Then when you pass through the next time (because I usually go through multiple times too) you just show them the sticker.
Easy peasy!
