I suggest that you check federal laws concerning raffles, as well as for each and every state that this site reaches for their laws concerning online gambling. Consulting with an knowledgeable attorney would be well advised.

I think you will find that this is just not a very good idea, regardless of what you are offering in a raffle.

That being said, and more to the point, there is a possibility that raffles could involve this site in being involved in the accusation of potentially criminal activity in one jurisdiction or another (perhaps MANY others), so they are not allowed here.

Raffles have to be for the benefit of a charity. For something like a firearm, the winner would have to be legally allowed to own a firearm, the firearm would have to be legal in the winner's state, the transfer would have to go through a licensee, etc.

We've facilitated raffles but the proceeds have always gone to support a local charity like our volunteer fire department.
 
Understood, the biggest hold up is that they are not allowed here. Which, I don't have a problem with.

If anyone is ever in the market for something they can send me an email.
