Why not? Although anyone can purchase the $10 ticket, all winners must pass the background check that is done when the firearm is picked up. The Perry/Juniata county areas are very big on hunting and other types of gun sports. Maybe the idea that 95% of all Perry/Juniata county homes have at least one firearm, keeps crime to a minium. I thank you very much for advertising this rafle for the kids. I know you have helped the team sell more tickets. I know I will go out today and purchase one or two.
