Radio promotion: Shoot bin Laden for CharityNews-Journal wire servicesMADISON, Wis. -- A radio station is raising money with its own take on the war on terrorism, a fund-raiser they're calling: "Shoot bin Laden for Charity." More than 100 Madison-area handgun owners paid between $2.50 for 15 minutes and $4 for 30 minutes to shoot at a photo of Osama bin Laden's face Thursday evening at the Deerfield Pistol and Archery Center in Deerfield. The proceeds, $700 so far, go to aid families of Wisconsin police officers killed in the line of duty. "The whole point wasn't to raise a lot of money ... but to create some awareness and good will toward police officers and firefighters," said John Sylvester, a local radio talk show host. Rachel Carroll and Matthew Todd, both from Madison, said they came to practice shooting and have some fun. "We're just letting off steam," Carroll said. http://www.news-journalonline.com/2001/Oct/20/NOTE78.htm
