[Vision2020] In Idaho : Buy A Truck, Get A Gun

[Kenneth Marcy]

Due to the mysterious workings of the World Wide Intertubes, someone 
located east of the Mississippi brought this to my attention:

  If You Buy A Truck From This Idaho Dealership You Also Get A Free Gun

*Benjamin Preston *

It's a simple equation, really: Truck + gun = awesome. The Mountain Home 
Auto Ranch in Mountain Home, Idaho capitalized upon this uniquely 
American math to sell trucks this month with its fourth annual "Buy a 
Truck, Get a Gun <http://www.mhautoranch.com/index.htm>" sale. Who needs 
0 percent APR financing?

Unsurprisingly, people have jumped at the opportunity to upgrade their 
old beater /and/ get a slick new piece in time for hunting season. 
Mountain Home's sales department staff told us that although they've 
given away $60,000 worth of guns this year alone, the promotion has been 
a really great way to boost truck sales.

If you do end up buying a truck and getting a gun, don't worry about 
some communist tribunal telling you which gun you're going to get with 
your truck. No sir, this is America, and you can choose whichever weapon 
strikes your fancy from Cabelas or a similar big box firearms outlet. If 
you buy a new truck from Mountain Home Auto Ranch, they'll give you up 
to $400 toward the purchase of a gun. If you decide that a pre-owned 
vehicle is more your cup of tea, you get $250.

Judging by the dealership's photo gallery of new truck/gun owners

on Facebook, it looks like pickups, scope-mounted hunting rifles, and 
shotguns are in this year. But you can also buy pistols and small 
assault weapons with your truck-gun stipend.

That means that if you bought a Chevy Silverado and a .308 bolt action 
rifle last year, you can grab a Ford Explorer and a Walther PK380 pistol 
this year. Or if you're going for the home protection warrior look, a 
Jeep Wrangler and a 9mm semiautomatic carbine

would be hot. (I looked on Cabela's website, and those are all within 
range of a new truck purchase stipend).

The sale lasts until the end of November, so if you live near Mountain 
Home, Idaho, you still have a few days left to get on it. Even if you're 
not from Idaho, it's wolf season there right now, so this gives you an 
opportunity to kill two or three birds with one stone, so to speak.
