Silencers Have NEVER Been Illegal !
Some time ago member "longrange" started a thread about an AK-74 being raffled by the Moose Lodge in Knox, Indiana with proceeds to benefit a family in need. Tickets were to be sold for $25 each. Several INGO members bought raffle tickets, but never received any actual tickets in the mail as they were promised. The date for the raffle came and went, with no word from longrange as to the disposition of the drawing. Eventually longrange posted that members of the Michigan Gun Owners (MGO) forum won the AK and a cash prize. Inquiries on that site turned up nothing, that's to say that nobody there knew of any raffle, or any local winners. At this point I decided to step-in and start looking harder into this. I contacted the Moose Lodge in Knox, and was told that they knew nothing about the raffle. I contacted people on MGO and was again told that they were not aware of any raffle. Longrange posted the name of the winner of the AK, and a search for him turned up nothing. Eventually I became convinced that no raffle had ever taken place and INGO was used as conveyance of this scam. It turns out that I was correct. The next few posts outline the email dialogue between longrange and myself.
