I wanted to reply to Marja Goodwin’s letter entitled “Raffling guns is a bad idea,” (Journal, Dec. 8). Before going off half-cocked about using “proper channels,” Goodwin needs to check her facts about gun raffles.
In fact, before being able to claim a firearm at a raffle here in Colorado, the winner must submit to a background check just as if he or she had purchased the firearm at a gun store, gun show or through a person with a federal firearms license.
Also I believe Goodwin is free to move to a state that has the much more restrictive gun laws and guidelines she believes we need here I surmise she’d feel more comfortable and safe some place like California.
