Candidate raffles off AK-47 at campaign rally

[Yanksfan396]

The Greenville News reports some 500 people came out to a shooting range Saturday for Republican Dean Allen's political rally. He wants to be the next adjutant general, the person who leads the state's National Guard.

Attendees paid $25 for barbecue, a clip of bullets for target practice and the chance to win a semiautomatic AK-47. Whoever wins the rifle will have to undergo a background check

I didn't even know this was a position to be held. Strange tactic, though. Way to appeal to the demographic.

The AK is a sweet rifle to fire. I love the 7.62x39 round.

Great idea...talk about marketing yourself perfectly for the position.
