Are they legal? I know I've bought tickets in the past, I've been to ducks unlimited dinners and union sportsmans alliance, NRA banquets and they have had gun raffles.but I've had a couple people saying they aren't. I'm gonna call the njsp today.

I'm gonna call the njsp today.

You are going to call the people that constantly mis-state the law and erroneously apply it? Great idea.

 

Think it through. Why would it be illegal? Just because you've won a gun doesn't mean that you go home with it at the event. The event has everything transferred through a participating FFL so therefore the law is NOT being broken.

 

When I "won" a revolver at an NRA banquet, they gave me a slip, took my money and I went to a shop with a pistol permit in hand, FID, matching driver's license and second child. All local, state and federal laws were followed.

 

Instead of calling NJSP from the drop, why don't you call the event staff and direct questions to them first. Then, if anything seems fishy call the 5-0.

 

Given your history, I cannot fathom why you would ever consider calling anyone of authority without serious consideration.

 

C

Long gun could get transferred at the event. Pistol would have to be picked up at an ffl. Not really a big deal

 I cannot fathom why you ANYONE would ever consider calling anyone of "authority" without serious consideration.

 

 

This with these minor edits.

Because I don't want to collect money from people then have it shut down before the drawing.

Everything would be done through ffl. It would be a brand new gun.

Call Gary Needleman Esq on retainer with ANJRPC and and he's an FFL.   973-334-4422

 

Tell him you intention and mention the charity it's for.

Left Gary a message. Talked to njsp firearms detective and he said as long as it goes through a dealer it's fine.

 

Leaning towards this fine piece of machinery

 

Or $500 cash for those who aren't into guns

How much are the tickets.

NJ Law says different. I looked it up once and it said no firearms. Hmmm.

 

ETA: Not sure if this is it >

13:47-6.20 PROHIBITED PRIZES
a) No licensee shall offer or award any prize consisting of real estate or any interest therein, bonds, shares of stock, securities or evidences of indebtedness, weapons, live animals (except a gift certificate redeemable for live, edible seafood), foreign or domestic coins (except collector pieces or sets that are marketed as such and are clearly not intended for use as legal tender), tobacco products, motor vehicle leases, or any merchandise refundable in any of the foregoing or as money or cash.

The event I'm raising money for is in pa. Maybe I'll have the drawing in pa. That might make it easier

Could be for a gift certificate that's goes toward the gun.

What's the event?

Autism speaks

I'm thinking a $500 cash prize with a 1 time opportunity to purchase said gun at $500.

 

That will clear up any issues

You need to check then that org. they might not want your money.

I was going to raffle a rifle for a local fire dept and never got a call back
 

I'm doing the autism walk in philly this fall. Everyone that enters needs to raise money.

When you get around to selling tickets let me know, I will take a couple.

Tix are in.

[/sarcasm]

I've never had a tick on me prior to this year.  this year i've already had two

Yeah that's exactly what I meant on a post about a fundraiser

You need a permit from the NJ Legalized Games of Chance Commission if you want to keep it all legit.

It's all in the wording. It's not a raffle it's a fundraiser. You aren't buying a ticket you are making a donation. Went through appropriate channels. The event isn't in nj so nj gets nothing.

Then why were you going to call NJSP as you stated in your OP? If you are doing it outside NJ you need to check the law there. They may not see "fundraiser" and raffle the same way you do.

Glad they left out teenage Cambodian girls, that scared me for a moment.

I was still in the thinking stage then. Now I'm in the doing. Didn't want to hit any bumps.

Tonight is the drawing. If anyone wants last min tickets get ahold of me
