Just what you need...another gun.
Maybe you can donate it to some children's charity down there.

Interesting that you mention that. This raffle was a charity raffle
that supports a horrible, and usually fatal, childhood disease. Last
year I donated over $5000 to them. I also donate to other charities but
it's fun to have the opportunity to win something while I do it. I have
also "won" five Ruger gun auctions that benefit the Matt Light
Foundation - look it up, they support kids. Those auctions totaled
roughly $7500. In March I will be touring the Ruger facility in NH and
also spending a day at their range with Matt Light. I also bid $7800
for two seats to Saturday Night Live. That money goes to - you guessed
it - a children's charity.

That's about $20,000 to children's charities for 2015 and roughly $5000
to other charities. I don't need you to tell me where to donate my
money or to decide how many guns I need.

Who has benefited from your contributions this year? There's still
time. Take a look at charitybuzz.com You might even find something you
can afford.

Peace
