More Political Incorrectness from Adventure Outdoors – Part 2

Nick Wallace with the guns that will be raffled

I reported yesterday about the raffle at Adventure Outdoors, where a Georgia state senator was upset that owner Jay Wallace is holding a raffle to give away a Glock pistol or a Browning hunting rifle.

At the end of my original post, I wrote:

I’m not sure how well the idea will hold up, considering there is a law in Georgia prohibiting anyone from offering money or goods in exchange for voting or registering to vote.

Well, like a dummy, I had forgotten that Jay Wallace took on Mike Bloomberg’s thugs, and won. I never should have doubted.

As it turns out Wallace had cleared the raffle with Georgia Secretary of State’s office before even starting the promotion.

Since I was looking at promotional material I was sent, I didn’t get a chance to read the fine print on the poster at the store, which says that the raffle is open to any person legally allowed to own a firearm in the state of Georgia, whether they vote or not. That clears the raffle, and Wallace has a letter from the Secretary of State’s office as proof.

Once again, a protest against a legitimate gun issue ends up bringing positive publicity.

Well played, sir.

I will let you know if I win.

More Political Incorrectness from Adventure Outdoors

Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, Georgia, probably my favorite gun store in the world, has done it again.

When you vote in Georgia, you are given a nice peach sticker that says “I’m a Georgia Voter.” Now, if you bring that sticker to the store, you can register to win a new Glock 22 or a Browning hunting rifle.

This, of course, has drawn the ire of a local politician, State Senator Vincent Fort, Democrat of Atlanta. And, no, Adventure Outdoors is not in his district.

I’m not sure how well the idea will hold up, considering there is a law in Georgia prohibiting anyone from offering money or goods in exchange for voting or registering to vote. But, it certainly will provide enough publicity for the store. Besides, the only proof you need to bring in is a sticker, and I keep my extras in the drawer, so I can wear two or three at a time. That gigs ’em, too.
