Welcome back FQ and glad to hear your Dad is doing okay. As for the NRA lotto, I haven't filled out my entry yet. I would so like to go with the 21 guns option as it outnumbers my meager collection by far. BUT, if you listen to MD's governor and the overwhelming Democrat majority here in this state, we ARE going to have an "assault" weapons ban and a high capacity magazine ban and a ban on more semi-automatic weapons (some already are) and total handgun registration and...and...and... I figure that if I win the 21 guns all I would get is the salute!
Have any of you read the fine print rules on the back of the entry form? Some members are allowed to enter via Facebook and email IF your entry package indicates you are eligible to do so. And they are allowed to enter them DAILY. This means that I get ONE entry (my package didn't indicate any such eligibility) while select members get to enter over 300 times. Who are these special selected people who are relatively guaranteed to be winners? Want to hazard a guess? Have you willed your assets to the NRA yet?
Yeah, I'm going to send my entry in, but I won't be waiting with bated breath. I am also beginning to suspect that the hey days of the NRA are over. This administration fights dirty and they have the resources of China and the skullduggery of mother Russia to pick apart the NRA. This is going to be one helluva fight.
