I feel I must share this story with the forum.
Last year, while attending a small local gunshow, I was stopped at a table occupied by members of a local Duck Unlimited chapter. I was offered a chance on winning a gun at their next banquet. The ticket was $20.00 and they were giving away a total of ten guns. Happy to contribut to Ducks Unlimited as well as shot at winning a gun, I purchased a ticket. This was months in advance of the banquet. By the time the banquet was held, the ticket was just a faint memory. Sometime in late October I got a call from a gunshop informing me that I had won a gun at a Ducks Unlimited function. Of course my first question was "what did I win"? Out of 10 possible gun to be given away, I had won a Taurus Judge.
About two months ago, I saw the same group of guys selling tickets once again for this year's banquet. I had planned to attend, not only because I had purchased a ticket, but I felt that I would want to give something back for the prize I had won the previous year. Becauce of a family illness, I was unable to attend. I got a call tonight and glanced at the caller ID. The call was from the same gunshop where I picked up the Judge last year. Knowing the banquet was last night, I was very anxious to hear what the caller had to say. Yep, I won another gun. Would you believe out of ten different guns to be given away, I won another Judge!
