Get married... or go hunting...

[Shelteez2]

Why choose when you can do both?

Just don't get the boxes mixed up.

I'd rather have a cheeseburger.

LOL, Your title made me laugh out loud!

It's like poop or get off the pot?

[Twisterdog]

I bet a LOT of women are going to get earrings this year! My husband would so be there.

[Desert Arabian]

Hilarious!! Doesn't surprise me one bit that it's from Eau Claire/Wisconsin. OY!

OMG I find this to be horrible, horrible, horrible. This is assocating love with murder. At the very least of animals.
How many of these people will pick up the gun and shot their husband or wife when the marriage turns sour?
Like the earrrings baby? Here is another hole for the pretty cheating head of yours.
Where is the backround check? Does this nut job even care?
Yes that is what we need in this horrible economy, more guns to rob people with or shot our families when we have lost our jobs and our homes. Aren't we on the edge enough as it is. People are so desperate and getting more so every day.
Instead of giving people a gun how about a free meal at a nice resturant which will help the economy.
Or a gift certicate to a movie, book store, department store, grocery store? $300.00 buys a lot of food.
How about a donation to your favorite charity in your name. Or money to a food bank or animal shelter?
This makes me so sick.

Okay, make it a veggie burger.

Skip the earrings...

Marigold, I don't see anywhere in the article where it specifically said anything about hunting firearms. Firearms are fun when used in a safe LEGAL manner. I doubt anyone spending $400 on a pair of earrings is going to use the free gun in a crime.

Be wary of anyone paying cash though

I am sure it won't last. So lets enjoy the moment. LOL


It IS almost Valentines day afterall.

[Desert Arabian]

I can't even take Marigold's post seriously....wow...

[Karen]

I do like the "do both" option - if you substitute "go shooting" for hunting! I prefer shooting at targets than living things, thank you! But no one says what the guns are to be used for - heaven knows some would prefer to hang them over the mantel as 'decor' ... not my style, but hey!

I do hope they are doing background checks, but folks buying guns - or receiving them - should expect that.

[Desert Arabian]

Stores licensed to sell firearms are required by federal law to do background checks. Don't worry...the chances of an out-of-control (human) murderer walking away with a gun from this jewelery store are slim to none.

Background checks on people recieving the firearm as a gift are not done, b.g. checks are only done on the purchaser. It is obviously highly illegal to purchase a firearm for an individual who is not allowed to own one, due to a felony. If you are traced back to making the purchase you can expect to spend a long time in prision. If one is busted for owning a firearm illegally, all they have to do is enter the serial number found on the gun and BINGO they'll find out who bought it.

This "deal" is also a huge scam. The diamond earrings are only worth $100, however they jacked the price up to include a "free" gun - but really, you're paying for it.

Zinn also said you do not need to be a resident of Wisconsin to get the free gun. However you must submit to a federal background check.

Why do you think the marriage will go sour? Do you think all husbands cheat on their wives? Or all wives cheat on their husbands?

Hunting a deer could provide the family with a lot of food too...
