Fox News - A struggling Florida electrical business is hoping to spark sales by offering a free 12-gauge shotgun with purchase, myfoxtampabay.com reports. The owners of United Electrical Systems in Plant City will be giving a free Remington model 870 12-gauge shotgun to customers who purchase an efficient air conditioning system installed by the company. Toole and Harden are promoting the AC business, as well as their licensed gun shop, Shoot-N-Irons, right now in its early stages. "I'm not in this to make a political statement," Toole said. "I'm not in this to promote the NRA. I'm not in this to do anything, but promote my business." Some have questioned the gun giveaway. "I don't think a shotgun is something people need," said Erin Powers. "How about a grocery store gift certificate or Target, Walmart?"
So this is becoming kind of a standard thing now in hick/redneck states, huh? Buy a TiVo, get a gun in Montana, Florida, not wanting to be left in the dust steps it up a notch with its buy an AC get a shotgun deal.
Shit, every asshole in Florida is going to be walking around packing gats n' stuff. Who in Florida doesn't have an air conditioner? Maybe Grandparents because they're always cold anyway?
On the plus side the air conditioners may calm tempers in the state. No one has ever been in the murdering mood while chilling in their icebox of a living room. For me, personally, coming inside to a nice air conditioned living room, popping the top off a nice domestic light beer, well it just doesn't get any better than that. Any pent up anger or feelings of wanting to shoot annoying neighbors or co-workers just melts away into the Freon chilled air.
