Buy A Boat, Get An Assault Rifle Free
Dealer Offers Free AK-47 With Purchase


ANDERSON, S.C. -- An Upstate boat and tractor dealer is offering a
voucher for a free assault rifle with major purchases.

The marquee outside Carolina Tractor and Marine reads “Free AK-47 With
Purchase.” A partner in the dealership, Henry Jordan, said he got the
idea after seeing a story on FOX News Channel about a Missouri car
dealership about a week ago.

Jordan said he is trying to clear out his end-of-year inventory so he
can begin ordering for next year. He said he was just looking for
something that would catch people’s attention.

“We thought, ‘You know what? Every man ought to have a fishing boat, a
pickup truck and a tractor and they certainly need a good gun to protect
themselves and their family,” Jordan said. “We believe in the 2nd
Amendment. We believe, in fact, it’s a man’s responsibility to protect
his family.”

Jordan said that since he started the promotion he has sold a boat and a
riding lawnmower. He said the free-gun deal will run until Labor Day.
Anderson County Sheriff John Skipper said he does not have a problem
with the promotion.

“The AK-47 is a gun that anybody can purchase as long as they qualify,”
Skipper said. “I think any gun in the hands of a responsible person is
worth having.”
