Would you be interested in a charity rifle raffle?

[CajunBass]

Sure. Why not? I'd just waste the money on food, clothing, or shelter otherwise. A chance at a new gun is way more important.

Count me in. Where do I send the money?

 

[Arkie]

Well I don't know,,,, 10 dollars seems a awful lot for a New Rifle..

Slap,,,Slap,, ok, ok, I'm awake,, I'm awake!!

Sure I would also be interested.

 

[snowtigger]

I'm in.

It'd be nice if I could just get the certificate to my local store. Since you're running the deal as you see fit, just leave it up to the winner. They may be in the middle of Kansas and have limited access.

Post your address and I'll send bucks tomorrow. If the raffle gets off the ground, that's great. If not, go ahead and keep the money and donate it.

My mother passed away from complications of Multiple Sclerosis. I have a cousin in CO that also has it. Count me in as well.....

 

[shaggycat]

I'm in

 

[Dorryn]

My grandmother passed away from it. Looking forward to seeing if this raffle thing works!

It's a great idea. We have done the same type of raffle for our local fire department with great success.

 

[DogBonz]

WOW... thakns for all of the replies

I'm thinking of doing a poll to see what folks want. I too feel that the gift cert would be a good way to go, but some states might not have a particular store, or in that state they might not sell rifles.

Also, I'm trying to get a local dealer to donate or deep discount a rifle so that more of the money can go right to the charity.

Let me know what you think-

Thanks guys

I think tha is a great idea. Plus the money raised goes to a great cause. I am definitely in.

Be advised, raffles and games of chance are heavily regulated. Bone up on your local law and notify the appropriate authorities.

I recently worked with a group that tried to put on a "frog race," wherein contestants would purchase a rubber frog with a number on it and float them down a stream. The winning frog would take the prize.

Unfortunately, they weren't permitted to run the race because the statute only authorized rubber duck races. Stupid, but true.

 

[DogBonz]

Are you serious?

Unfortunately, they weren't permitted to run the race because the statute only authorized rubber duck races. Stupid, but true.

Are the prejudiced against frogs… or do they just not like Kermit?

I will look into it and see if there are any legal issues.

 

[realmswalker]

i'm in.

 

[ndh87]

[TF_FH]

Sounds like a plan! Count me in!

 

[MD_Willington]

Yes - Pretty cool idea too!

If it was for a prepaid visa then I'm in, I do not have a lot of big retailers in my area...

Sports Authority and Big 5 are the only larger retailers in my area.

If the government held "rifle raffles" weekly, they could solve the deficit problem... On second thought, They'd find new ways to waste the money...
