Legal Advice on Giveaways

[the_great_white]

The business is still the one doing the giveaway

Maybe work out a deal with a sponsor gunshop and have the winner pick it up from them and the LGS bill you?

Yep. See my post above

all the more reason to forget "giveaway"Day

So you’re anti-giveaway?

Maybe work out a deal with a sponsor gunshop and have the winner pick it up from them and the LGS bill you?

None of these solutions change the fact that a business gave away the firearm to a paid member.

I’m confused here, this site is a business isn’t it? You don’t keep a lawyer on retainer?

There is a civitan club in WR that does one every year but as a fund raiser. It’s usually a daily drawing based on numbers from cash3 daily and it goes all month. They use the same gun store each time to supply the guns.

Are they a charity? How do you become eligible to win?

I’ve asked a lawyer and he doesn’t know as it isn’t in his wheelhouse, it’s a very niche thing I guess.

I don't have an answer, I'm not sure I understand how being a paid member affects it. AO does giveaways and they're a sponsor here. Maybe ask someone over there what or if there are hoops to jump though?

They sell tickets for say $30 each. Same ticket is used all month. So 30 chances to win off each ticket. You can buy as many tickets as you want but they have a limited number they sell. Usually around 1,000. Winner as said above goes to the gun store to pick up the gun.

the proceeds after gun costs goes to a party for local mentally/physically challenged individuals

mentally challenged individuals? Better be huge amount of money
