A car dealer in Butler, MO is offering free gun or free gas with the purchase of a car. Max Motors is offering $250 for gas or gift certificate toward the purchase of a handgun. According to their website “We are aware of the gasoline and crime problem in America. (We) want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.”

According to an interview with KMBC TV

“Like I say, it’s a choice — protection or gas,” said Walter Moore with Max Motors. Moore said he came up with the gas or guns promotion.

“We got high gas prices, theft, carjackings, innocent people getting hurt,” Moore told KMBC’s Chris Nagus.

So far, the handgun is a more popular choice. “Right now were running 80 percent toward the gun,” Moore said.

According to their website the response has been overwhelmingly supportive of this campaign. Hell, I wish I lived closer to him so I could buy a car from him. I’ve had my eye on a sweet little Taurus compact .40 cal.
