Gun raffle?
Does anyone know any good gun raffles going on? Also, I want to have a fund raiser for a local hospital and wanted to see if a gun raffle was appropriate or not? There are a lot of hunters in the area so i think it would be a good idea. Any thoughts?

Re: Gun raffle?
Around here some of the local volunteer fire companies run gun raffles based on the PA Lottery daily number. 30 days, 30 guns, every day a new model firearm: you gotta find them fast because they get bought up quick. All of the ones I know of have already run their course.

Re: Gun raffle?
As far as having your own raffle...this might be regulated by the state as a game of chance?
Just sayin' you might wanna check into that aspect of it.

You'll probably need a Small Games of Chance license issued by the county to hold one.

Re: Gun raffle?
Aside from any legalities, you may want to confer with the org that you want to give the money to. Some places will object to receiving money from a weapons auction.
I know, you would think that they would be happy for the money, but when I was doing knives I had places refuse to have my tables at their markets beacuse they considered them to be weapons. One was even a fire dept, in Pa.

Re: Gun raffle?
I can almost understand no guns, but not knives.
Flea markets are a regular target of ATF raids because some folks are selling guns as part of their flea market business while lacking state and federal firearms licenses.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515, SteveWag

Re: Gun raffle?
Millcreek FD east of Huntington runs a 90 gun ticket for $10 but it is in sept or oct.
A decent dealer should be able to help you out with the legalities of having a raffle.
When I had my license I used to run one for the local VFD, the best way is to find a sportsman club that will "sponsor" the raffle, makes it a whole lot easier.
