A car dealership in the United States is offering a free handgun with every vehicle sold.
Max Motors in Butler, Missouri, says sales have quadrupled since the start of the offer.
Customers can choose between a gun or a $250 (£125) gas card, but most so far have chosen the gun.
Owner Mark Muller said: "We're just damn glad to live in a free country where you can have a gun if you want to."
The dealership sells new and old vehicles, including General Motors and Ford cars and trucks, and its logo shows a cowboy holding a pistol.
It has sold more than 30 cars and trucks in the past three days, an increase which the owners put down to their promotional offer.

Mr Muller said that every buyer so far "except one guy from Canada and one old guy" chose the gun, rather than the gas card.
What squares! :roll:
It's idiots like these that give America a bad name.

Woooow.
What makes this even worse is the choice between the gun and gas card. I'm almost surprised they aren't doing things down here in Georgia. I know about 90% of the car dealerships here are run by very, very southern... and yes redneck people. It's a stereotype I know, but trust me they have their roots.
I almost want to watch the rate of gun-related deaths/injuries in Missouri now. Just sayin'.

damn "cowboys."
I hope they all shoot themselves in the foot, and then they'll notice another flaw, in crappy health care policy.

Well, you can either have more gas, or the gun to protect the gas you got. XD
That's a pretty interesting promotion, though. It's got hillbilly written all over it. Surprised that story didn't come out of my area(Texas).

A gun or a gas card? Hmmm seems like the Americans always know what their consumers want :yep:
