I've participated in several of these raffles they're not 'actually' giving away an AR-15.

They're giving away a gift certificate that will cover the price of the rifle at a designated gun shop. the winner will still have to do the standard background check.

Not a lot different than offering a cash prize and the winner deciding to buy an AR-15.

I'm guessing that being anti-gun in OK puts you in a minority position.

I understand how it can bother ya but it sounds like a great way to raise money for a good cause.
