What an asshole. We have a pretty successful raffle every year it brings in some cash and folks get to win some nice firearms. With that said this not only creates a protected class it also is a gov sponsored monopoly

They didn’t even need an exemption. Rifles and shotguns are not firearms.Only firearms aren’t allowed to be raffled. Read the actual law. It says firearms as defined by Penal law 265.
How could a regular joe like me know that and the cops, politicians, and lawyers not?

so raffles of bottles of wine is legal .. LOL . and yes i have seen them raffled off before ..
So firemen can raffle off firearms with exemption? Cool!
More likely the dumbass that introduced the legislation doesn't realize firearms do not include most rifles and shotguns under NY law...
