Carroll County Republican fundraiser spurs gun raffle controversy
A rural Maryland county fundraiser for the Republican Central Committee raised about 13 000 dollars. The event featured John Lott as keynote speaker and drew protests outside the banquet hall. Betty Smith resigned as Carroll County Central Committee vice chairwoman citing involvement in the gun raffle. Handgun Control Inc. called the raffle tasteless and inappropriate. Ellen Sauerbrey and Michael Steele criticized the event. A background check was required before issuing a handgun prize to a winner who chose it over a five hundred dollar first prize.
