The prize: A Fulton Armory AR15 "Minuteman" Carbine

When Minutemen mustered in response to King George’s attempt to seize arms – yes, the very birth of our nation is tied with resistance to gun control! – it was with basic kits. Simple and effective, no matter what faced them, was the order of the day. As patriots stared into the unknown, the reliability of their rifles and ability to rise to any peril was their only comfort. In that spirit, we asked Fulton Armory to create a prize that would be ready, reliable and flexible in the hands of a homeowner called on moment’s notice to defend what is dear. That’s the September raffle prize: A top quality AR15 configured with 18” heavy barrel, A1 fixed butt stock (slightly shorter so more versatile in all conditions), robust iron sights, and 4-rail fore grip [rails not shown in image at left] – suitable as-is but ready to accept laser, light or other gear.

This raffle runs faster than usual. We’re staring into the unknown too – fall elections – and just as with Minutemen we are called to defend rights that are dear. Thanks to the blood of patriots and God’s grace, this battle we’ll fight at the ballot box, not in the streets, but as with our predecessors we need arms up to the task - in politics, a well-funded PAC capable of both persuading voters to support our issue and mustering our people to vote. When polls open, who will answer to the call? Your political action committee, MPFO is the only group working state-wide to muster a broad pro-gun impact. This event is intended to infuse MPFO with cash today, so it can send more direct mail tomorrow, and ensure victories in the fall.
