<h1>If You Buy A Truck From This Idaho Dealership You Also Get A
Free Gun</h1>

It's a simple equation, really: Truck + gun = awesome. The Mountain
Home Auto Ranch in Mountain Home, Idaho capitalized upon this
uniquely American math to sell trucks this month with its fourth
annual "<a href="http://www.mhautoranch.com/index.htm">Buy a Truck,
Get a Gun</a>" sale. Who needs 0 percent APR financing?
<p>Unsurprisingly, people have jumped at the opportunity to upgrade
their old beater <em>and</em> get a slick new piece in time for
hunting season. Mountain Home's sales department staff told us
that although they've given away $60,000 worth of guns this year
alone, the promotion has been a really great way to boost truck
sales.</p>
<p>If you do end up buying a truck and getting a gun, don't worry
about some communist tribunal telling you which gun you're going
to get with your truck. No sir, this is America, and you can
choose whichever weapon strikes your fancy from Cabelas or a
similar big box firearms outlet. If you buy a new truck from
Mountain Home Auto Ranch, they'll give you up to $400 toward the
purchase of a gun. If you decide that a pre-owned vehicle is more
your cup of tea, you get $250.</p>
<p>Judging by the dealership's <a

gallery of new truck/gun owners</a> on Facebook, it looks like
pickups, scope-mounted hunting rifles, and shotguns are in this
year. But you can also buy pistols and small assault weapons with
your truck-gun stipend.</p>
<p>That means that if you bought a Chevy Silverado and a .308 bolt
action rifle last year, you can grab a Ford Explorer and a Walther
PK380 pistol this year. Or if you're going for the home protection
warrior look, a Jeep Wrangler and a <a

semiautomatic carbine</a> would be hot. (I looked on Cabela's
website, and those are all within range of a new truck purchase
stipend).</p>
<p>The sale lasts until the end of November, so if you live near
Mountain Home, Idaho, you still have a few days left to get on it.
Even if you're not from Idaho, it's wolf season there right now,
so this gives you an opportunity to kill two or three birds with
one stone, so to speak.</p>
