At a DU Committee meeting middle of December.....bought a raffle ticket from one of the guys.....his boy was selling tickets for a Veterans Motor cycle group....12 Guns of Christmas.
I buy a lot of raffle tickets.
Right after New Years, got a cryptic voice mail from a guy named "Joe" telling me I had won a gun and that he would get back to me.....and left a number.
Called the number back...no answer so left a message.
Several days go by....nothing...left another message.......
Several more days go by....He calls me back...telling me that I need to call "Eric at the gun store for details of pick-up and such.
The following morning, called the gun store....in Illinois....and I am in Wisconsin.....Can you see a problem coming here?
Guys say yeah, we need to work out details (duh)....and says he will call me back.
So waited till this morning...been about 2 weeks....Called the gun store back.
Guy says "Well we have a probem with inventory...we don't have the gun you won"
So, Now what?
Guy says I can get a instore credit for $450 bucks.
Now I don't know what the deal is, what good does a store credit in a store that I can't buy any thing in?
At this point I'm kinda wondering if I really wanted to "Win" ....
I should mention at this point he never mentioned that we still may have a problem with transfers to Wisconsin
(I have my "Guy w/FFL")
The he asked what I would substitute, for the Taurus 65 .357 that I won that he can't get(?)
So decided that the New Ruger Single 7 in .327 Federal SS 7-1/2 barrel may be an option.
Says he can order it....
But I need to kick in with a $100....(yeah, well I guess)
We will see....If this come to pass......
LOL...Sometimes, when you Win,..... you lose.
But how much fun can you have for $20 bucks
