West Virginia offering guns as prizes in COVID vaccine lottery

They have the right, and some incentive, to bare arms!

West Virginians who get the COVID-19 vaccine will be entered into a drawing to win prizes including custom firearms and $1 million, Gov. Jim Justice announced Tuesday in the latest initiative by a state government to boost inoculation efforts.

June 20 — Father’s Day — will mark the first of a series of weekly drawings running through Aug. 4, the Republican governor said during a press briefing.

“To be eligible, you have got to get your first shot,” said Justice. “When I start through these prizes … there’s going to be a run on people getting their first shot. So go get ’em. Go get ’em so you’ll be eligible where we can draw your name, and absolutely you could win something that would be phenomenal.”
