kingfish007I love Texas
Saw this at the Auto show yesterday. Houston Police Dept raffling an AR-15 to benefit their cycling relay team. I stopped by and made a donation. Will never see this in NY or CA ...

maxdogI’m surprised their chief, who transferred from the Peoples Republic of Austin, hasn’t stopped this.

YogiBearHowdy,
Definitely wouldn't happen in Hawaii.
Since we've been here, we have bought a lot of raffle tickets.
Probably cheaper to just buy the gun instead of getting raffle tickets.

Apparently Acevedo was not loved by the rank and file. He may have learned to step a little more lightly on his way to being the head of NYPD or whatever he's after.

Yup, I think he quickly realized that Houston is not another Austin. Not yet, anyway.
