Dish Network = Free gun
« on: March 28, 2011, 10:08:23 AM »


 Casey Chan — In a deal that the southern part of our country would find irresistible, a Radio Shack in Hamilton, Montana is offering a free gun to every customer who signs up with Dish Network. Now I've been offered many things when signing my life away for cable—LCD TV's, phones, iPads—but really? A gun?!

Apparently, the offer is doing really well too. The owner says that business has tripled since he started it and a lot of people have stopped by the store to snap a picture of the sign. Customers who qualify for the deal (they have to pass a background check, after all) can pick between a Hi Point 380 pistol or a 20-gauge shotgun. If you're not the gun toting type, Radio Shack will give you a $50 Pizza Hut Gift Card. I never knew Montana was this wild.

Yep, that's been done a few places, Florida and Kentucky both had dealers who gave away AK's with the purchase of a vehicle.

The only ones that lose in this is the ones that don't want the gun.
I mean $50.00 instead of your choice of two guns that sell for what, at least $150.00 for a piece of junk 20ga and more for the pistol.
Take the gun and if you don't like or want it, sell it.
You will get more than $50.00 I asure you!

I'll have to ask my cell phone company if they have a deal like that.

When I saw the TV news about it, they showed a table full of weapons. One was a bolt action rifle, with buttstock cut off at pistol grip, and barrel shortened to about 12", clearly illegal. I think they were showing "file footage" of siezed weapons displayed by L.E.
