I Googled "police gun raffle" and other than that idiot New Hampshire Police Chiefs' ASSOCIATION, which is facing a storm of criticism for a planned raffle this May where the first prize is an AR-15, I did not find any actual police DEPARTMENTS raffling off handguns.

Police department are doing just the opposite; they are doing buybacks, like here in Los Angeles.

"Gun buyback program in Los Angles takes 2,000 weapons off the streets - including two rocket propelled grenade launchers"

I would think anybody, especially police departments, giving away guns is very uncommon. Can you provide any link(s) substantiating what you just said?
