A RadioShack in Montana is making headlines — and doing a brisk business — by offering free guns to new Dish Network customers.
"Protect yourself with Dish Network. Sign up now, get free gun," reads the sign over the door of a Hamilton, MT, RadioShack. The promo has been running since October and the store's owner says it's tripled the business in that time. It's also made the store a bit of a local landmark.
"We have people literally stop in to take pictures of the sign," the Shack's manager tells local paper the Ravalli Republic.
To qualify for the deal, customers have to sign up for Dish service and installation and purchase a certain amount of related equipment from the store. They are then given a gift certificate for a local gun store where they have the option of a Hi Point 380 pistol or a 20-gauge shotgun.
The gun store runs the proper background checks on all customers before giving out any firearms. "We're not just giving guns to felons," said the Shack manager.
Comment
In war, a side arm (pistol) is a backup weapon meant for close range. For smaller women I recommend a 9 millimeter. Everyone else, a .45 or a .357. Just 20 hrs are so at the local gun range, will prepare you for urban warfare/close quarters marksmanship.
For personal protection (conceal and carry) revolvers are the way to go. An airweight, six shot, .32 revolver, or the airweight, five shot, .38, is what many cops carry off duty. You can keep them in your pocket in a wallet like case. Probably your best bet. And don't buy a bright and shiny silver pistol. Silver is for hollywood. Buy black.
Here is the black airweight .32:

the Hi-points are made here in ohio, great guns little over $100. They have been torture tested extensively and pass every time from what i hear.
Wouldn't recommend any cal below 40cal unless your a midget lol.
