What's this

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - A Missouri car dealer said on Thursday sales have soared at his auto and truck business since launching a promotion this week that promises buyers a free handgun or a $250 gas card with every purchase.
Max Motors, a small Butler, Missouri dealership that has as its logo a grimacing cowboy wielding a pistol, has sold more than 30 cars and trucks in the last three days, far more than its normal volume. And owner Mark Muller credits his decision to start offering buyers their choice of a $250 gas card or a $250 credit at a gun shop.
"This thing has taken off. Sales have quadrupled," said Muller. The store sells both used and new vehicles including General Motors and Ford products.
Every buyer so far "except one guy from Canada and one old guy" has elected to take the gun, Muller said. Muller recommends his customers select a Kel-Tec .380 pistol.
"It's a nice little handgun that fits in your pocket," he said.
Muller said the promotion was inspired by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who is vying with Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic nominee for the presidential election in November.
"We did it because of Barack Obama. He said all those people in the Midwest, you've got to have compassion for them because they're clinging to their guns and their Bibles. I found that quite offensive."
"We all go to church on Sunday and we all carry guns," said Muller. "I've got a gun in my pocket right now. I have a rifle in my truck. We've got to shoot the coyotes out here, they're attacking our cows, our chickens. We're not clinging to nothing. We're just damn glad to live in a free country where you can have a gun if you want. This is the way it ought to be
Those darn pacifist Canadians eh!!! Imagine, opting for free gas over a handgun.  |

Mass. officer's gun goes off during safety class

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. - It's probably the last thing you'd expect to happen during a class on firearms safety.
Police in Massachusetts say a Glock handgun discharged while an instructor was demonstrating to Bristol County deputy sheriffs how to safely holster the weapon.
Officials say the bullet ripped a hole in the pants of the instructor, Maj. Donald Lamar, but missed his leg and foot.
Sheriff Thomas Hodgson says the officer made a "gross error in judgment" by not emptying the weapon before the class last week.
Lamar, a certified firearms instructor since 2005, has been transferred to another division.
Officials say he will not carry a firearm while the incident is being investigated.

Carrying handguns so you can protect chickens from coyotes is so lame.
Too many people are killed by the things accidently, on purpose as in suicides, and are so useful for robberies.
There's no reason to have the things unless, unless you live away from civilisation in the mountains and there are life-threatening beasts out there, or, you are in the police force.
Later, this bloody irresponsible car dealer might even be gunned down or held up with one the weapons he included in his sale. |

You don't actually get a free gun. You get a voucher for a discount on a gun.
Nearly 80 percent of people in that small town already carry a gun, and guess what... it has a very, very low crime rate. |
