Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.

Where is the pics of the girls that sold you the tickets?


Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

Yeah I planned to take a picture with them when I picked up the rifle, but they had already left. Frown

Nice rifle! Congrats!



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

One time I did win something, 4 tickets to a rodeo downtown. But not sure if it counts because the reason I won is because nobody signed up for and it was time for the drawing, and the group of 3 of us were the only ones there eating at the time.
So in my case it was "Hey, ya'll wanna go to the rodeo tomorrow?"

Closest I ever came to winning a paid raffle was a friend of mine winning the 50/50 ticket draw they do at a lot of dirt tracks on Saturday nights. Half the money goes to the driver points fund and the other goes to the lucky 'winner'. The winning amount? Was about $14, it was a small dirt track about 40 minutes outside of Birmingham and there were only about 100 people in the stands.

I bet a shotgun would be prettier. Because taint any firearm uglier than an AR.


I've stopped counting.

The only gun I have ever won in a raffle was a Coonan .357 1911 pistol at a Friends of the NRA meeting.

To say how long ago that was, I ended up selling it on eBay. Yes, eBay. Shipped to a FFL dealer.

Nice win!

The only firearm I've won at a raffle was a thumbhole Savage 93 in .17HMR at a Ducks Unlimited banquet back around 2015.

Luckily it was no additional cost since the raffle entry was included with your entry ticket (and I had been gifted the ticket anyway), because I had zero interest in the rifle or that caliber.

I flipped it on Armslist the next weekend for something like $400. (Back when Armslist didn't suck...)

Sweet win. Armalite was the A in the ABC of AR's in the 90's-early 2000's.

A- Armalite
B- Bushmaster
C- Colt

Enjoy it.

Had the shotgun been a Benelli, I would have taken it. It was an old personal hunting 20 gauge and was the one gun that wouldn’t require paperwork. The pistol was a Smith & Wesson but I don’t recall what model so I took the AR despite having several.

Yup, now I have some of each plus others. I started off with Bushmaster for when I did my first builds. Now almost all of my ARs have at least a Noveske barrel if not other parts as well.
