"Jack Dalrymple Memorial" Gun Raffle
The Barney-Figueroa VFW Post 6271 in Benson, Arizona is selling tickets right now for a gun raffle fundraiser. Twenty guns will be raffled off on the Fourth of July. Tickets are $20 a piece and only 1,500 tickets will be sold. One tickets is essentially twenty chances to win and you do not have to be present to win. Winners do have to comply with all federal, state and local laws, and must pick up the weapon from a federally licensed firearms dealer. The gun raffle has special meaning because it is in memory of my father-in-law Jack Dalrymple, who died last year. He was a U.S. Marine and served during Korea. Proceeds from the raffle will go towards the Post’s ongoing veteran support programs but will also help with restoring their canteen, which was destroyed by a fire earlier this year. Insurance is covering the major repairs but there are some things they aren’t covering. The local paper has done a few stories on the Post, the fire and the gun raffle. Click he
