Gun or gas? Missouri car buyers pick to pack heat

“Yes, I’d like the power windows, DVD player, and the deluxe road rage kit, please.”

In the market for a new car? One Kansas City dealership gives buyers the chance to really gun the engine. Each purchaser of a new vehicle can either pick a $250 gas card, or pack some heat with a $250 credit at a local gun shop.

Sales have reportedly quadrupled at the dealership, and most customers are forgoing the petrol and selecting a new sidearm as their perk. The owner is recommending a small pistol that fits neatly into a pocket, and redemption of the credits has been brisk, he said.

The promotion took at shot at an offhand comment apparently made by Democratic candidate Barack Obama regarding two Midwest staples: guns and Bibles. While a strong statement for American freedoms, the promotion may kick the next season of ‘Cops’ off with a bang. Or it could make the Kansas City rush hour a lot more polite, who knows?
