Little League Raffles Off AR-15 Rifle to Raise Money

The raffle kicked off Tuesday, and Atwood Armory co-owner Charidy Butcher said the calls are pouring in.

"It has been going gangbusters, my phone has been ringing nonstop since 4:30 this morning." Butcher told The Raw Story Tuesday. "It's just been crazy. The amount of interest so far has just been astronomical. It's for a good cause for the kids and we're just trying to raise as much money as we can. Their fundraiser last year only raised $10."

Butcher said whoever wins the raffle will have to go through a standard background check. If an out-of-state person wins, the gun will be shipped to a dealer with a federal firearms license and the background check will be processed there.
