RadioShack, Dish Network Stores Offering Free Gun With TV Services

Posted in: Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili
Still can’t decide between cable and satellite? Here’s something that might put you over the edge–okay, okay, bad choice of words. RadioShack stores and Dish Network dealership locations in Montana and Idaho are offering an unlikely promotion to help people get on-board with the service: subscribe to Dish Network and get a free gun.
Sign up for Dish in one of the participating stores, and you get a $135 coupon for a shotgun at a local sporting good retailer. 

Montana RadioShack owner Steve Strand hit upon the idea as a way of increasing revenue in an ailing economy. He told Reuters that it’s cool because, you know, everyone around there has a gun anyway, “All I can tell you is, grandma is packing a gun in Montana.”
Idaho RadioShack owner John Marshall echoed the sentiment, “There’s no problem with it here; this isn’t New York City.” 
No word on when participating Blockbusters will get in on the action.
