Radio Shack Gun Giveaway: Montana Store Offers Free Firearm With Dish Network Purchase



http://i.huffpost.com/gen/260763/thu...S-large570.jpg


The Radio Shack store in Hamilton, Montana knows how to get customers' attention.

Since October, the franchise has been offering free guns to anyone who purchases Dish Network. And the promotion has been wildly successful--proprietor Steve Strand says business has tripled since its inception.

"I think it really, really fits the Bitterroot Valley," he told Montana's Ravalli Republic.

Before claiming their firearm, customers much undergo a background check. They are then given a gift certificate to Frontier Guns & Ammo, a nearby gun supply store. Those who don't qualify or prefer to opt-out of the giveaway receive a $50 coupon to Pizza Hut.

A sign outside the store proclaims, "Protect yourself with the Dish Network. Sign up now, get a free gun." According to Strand, hundreds have come into his shop because of the advertisement, and store manager Fabian Levy told the Republic that people stop by just to take pictures of the sign.

The promotion comes amidst increased scrutiny of America's firearm industry. In the wake of the shooting massacre that rocked Arizona in January, a new poll shows key states support strengthening our country's background-check system for gun purchases. Recently, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched a nationwide gun control campaign, and the Obama administration is exploring potential changes to gun laws.

Meanwhile, Strand claims his offer has been nothing less than successful. "We've received a tremendous amount of positive reactions," he told the Republic, noting that only one person has complained in the six months since he launched the campaign.

This reminds me of something else I saw back in 2009:

Buy a truck get a free AK-47

Quote:

A truck dealership in the US (where else?) has started giving away a free AK-47 with every purchase.

Max Motors in Kansas say anyone who buys a pick-up truck from them will get a free gun - like those favored by drug dealers and movie villains.

But buyers won't be able to drive off in their new vehicle toting their new $450 weapon, they will get a voucher which can be redeemed at a licensed gun store.

A spokesperson for Max Motors said: "In this community there is a tremendous crime problem. Last year we gave away a free handgun with every vehicle." Hmm, anyone else see a connection there.

This is really funny! Here in SA, it takes about 4 years to get a firearm license and we have to do training every year (quite expensive) to renew the license. You first of course must pay for the gun and then it just sits at the shop while you wait your 4 odd years...
