Gun Giveaways and Contests

Gun and gear giveaways are free online contests for firearms and shooting accessories and equipment. These gun and gear contests are often run by firearm retailers or manufacturers in an effort to raise awareness about a new product or to grow their mailing lists.

Typically, to enter a contest for firearms or shooting gear, you need to enter your email address – this is not only so that they can notify you if you're the lucky winner, it is also usually a requirement to subscribe to an email newsletter as an entry into the giveaway.

Some contests will also offer extra entries for completing specific tasks online, like watching a video, visiting a particular webpage, or even sharing the contest with friends on social media.

If you win a gun giveaway, you'll be notified via the email address you used when signing up for the contest. If you win a firearm, you'll need to have the firearm shipped to a local FFL (gun store), where you can then transfer the firearm to you.

If you'd instead get your own Federal Firearm License (FFL) so that you can have guns shipped straight to your home, here's how to get an FFL.

If you win shooting gear in the giveaway, then you can have that shipped straight to your home if it doesn't include a firearm.

It is important to note that gun giveaway contests may be subject to state and federal regulations, depending on the location and type of organization hosting the event.

Additionally, firearm ownership comes with great responsibility and requires appropriate training and safety measures.
