Stopped by my Valero Quick Stop (Like a 7-11) this morning for my coffee and they have a sign up ..
"$20 for a ticket/chance to win a new Ruger .22"
Then below it they have a picture of a AR type looking rifle.....
I ask the cashier what would they do if a 12 year old won it...and he said the owner tells everybody it is a private sale....
I didnt say anything...but this sure sounds wrong to me.
A raffle is like selling the gun to the general public and one would require a FFL at the least....whoever won it would have to go through a NICS background I would also assume.....
The sign doesnt say anything about must be 18 or any restrictions at all.....
What do you folks think? This is in Texas for the record.
