Sign up for Sat TV get a Free GUN!!!!!!!

[mrsleeve]

God I love living in a free state. This promotional deal is going a few hours drive south of me, but the fact its going on just makes me all feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Granted the give away hardware is not of great reputation for quality but thats not the point now is it ;)

This has gone national with pick ups from MSNBC, New York Daily, Fox and others

1st half or so

When driving down U.S. Highway 93 through Hamilton, there's no need to do a double-take when you see the sign hanging above the Radio Shack Super Store.

You read it right. Customers who buy Dish Network will be rewarded with a firearm.

"I think it really, really fits the Bitterroot Valley," said Steve Strand, who has owned Hamilton's Radio Shack for about seven years.

Strand, along with store manager Fabian Levy, wanted to generate more foot traffic at their location. So far, the gun giveaway has worked like a charm.

"It's been really successful," Levy said.

According to Strand, it has tripled his business since the promotion started last October. And, he said, easily hundreds of people have stopped in to see what the sign is all about. "Protect yourself with Dish Network. Sign up now, get free gun," the sign reads.

"We have people literally stop in to take pictures of the sign," Levy said.

Qualifying customers have the choice between a Hi Point 380 pistol or a 20-gauge shotgun.

The deal is only good for new Dish Network customers and they must buy a certain amount of equipment to qualify for the free gun.

After the customer signs a service contract and sets up an install date, they are given a gift certificate for their gun. They can also opt for a $50 gift card from Pizza Hut if they prefer, Strand said. And customers who purchase new Dish Network service that don't qualify for a firearm are still given the Pizza Hut gift card.

The gift certificate is good at Frontier Guns & Ammo, located north of Hamilton on Sheafman Creek Road. They are then put through a background check, also free with the promotion, before receiving their gun.

"We're not just giving guns to felons," Levy said.

Crap guns, but it is funny. The beginning of bowling for columbine starts with open a checking account, get a gun.

[mrsleeve]

Brown you are not implying that Bowling for Columbine is some kind of legitimate source for facts are you??? That movie is the sole reason Kmart does not sell guns and or ammo anymore.

What kind of gun is it? or is it just a $50 gift card for Guns & Ammo?

I grew up with dish net, they had excellent customer support. My parent's DVR went out last year and they just sent them a new one.

As far as a pistol its a High-Point, and the they dont mention what the shotty is. The $50 gift card fr pizza is if you dont want the gun or are a felon. You get the gun and the back ground check for free if you want them.


And Brown I was just asking, I could not remember which side of this topic you are on. And my stomach turns any time I here anyone reference a MM movie.

Maybe it's just the local "techs" that made my wife want to call in a hit.....

[mrsleeve]

Will watch this space for the dish network customer service massacre in a few days.

Other businesses that should hand out a free gun with every purchase:
tow truck companies
jewelry stores
your local bank
hospitals
bail bond establishments
bars
