What went right over your head, I think, is that giving guns away at a banquet might seem like a good idea, but, it really isn’t. The Franchi that somebody donated had some sort of aluminum receiver that didn’t turn my head, to say the least. It was somebody’s idea of a nice gun, but, not mine. It didn’t fit, I was left handed, etc, etc, etc, and, I wouldn’t have bought it, ever.
So why the hell would I want to win it?

I've been running banquets for a long time, and guns draw attendees, and attendees spend money.
The biggest banquets in this area have an almost stupid number of guns. Can't explain it, don't need to, just need to understand it and accept it.
Most of them are guns I don't want to own and would either re-donate, sell, or exchange for a store card (that's the system we have set up with Scheels).
I've managed a 137% increase in banquet attendance in the last 4 years, with a similar improvement in net, so you'll forgive me if I don't accept your premise.
