Big interest in Ill. gun raffle for youth baseball
ATWOOD – The raffle of a semiautomatic rifle to benefit a youth baseball league in eastern Illinois hasn’t even officially begun, but it’s already generating interest as far away as Alaska and Florida.
Charidy Butcher is co-owner of the Atwood Armory gun shop, which is offering up the AR-15 rifle.
She said the fundraiser doesn’t officially start until April, but the shop has already sold nearly $3,000 in tickets and is getting inquiries from people in other states.
