    Congrats to Raelynn and Daddy as well.
    Thanks Mgderf for doing this, and I think Dadsmith has a great idea.
    We could make this a yearly tradition, and I would be happy to volunteer my time to help work out the details.

    Is there a children's 22lr rifle for around $100-150? Something maybe we can donate to, and give out more often to INGO children?
    I've given out several Keystone Cricket rifles over the years here on Ingo.
    I used to be able to get them for around $99 before shipping.
    Getting harder to find at a good price now.

    I do like the idea.

    Is it forum kosher, and legal to do something like this? Maybe take donations at a donation site, and buy a rifle for children, or several if there is enough donated.

    Or have a give away every time there is enough donations to buy a rifle. Doesn't have to be a specific time that way.

    Just tossing ideas out.

    There are definite pitfalls to this idea. PMITA prison pitfalls potentially. ( bogus claims of straw purchases, etc. Even more ominous given recent ATF actions/overreach) 10-20 years ago I'd be advocating for a pool of cash to pump out harmless Crickets to young-uns. Today? :nailbite:

    IANAL but I would say that the safest course of action is anyone willing to give away a youth rifle they own is encouraged to do so. Anything more where cash changes hands is asking for trouble. (this coming from someone too pretty to go to prison.)


    This is my own personal opinion and is not official INGO policy.
