    Most customers will use it to hang laundry on, like it's an exercise bike or something.

    IIRC there was a bank in Colorado years and years ago the gave out Weatherby rifles as a premium for opening up an IRA. Used to be toaster ovens and blenders in the old days.

    The customers get a voucher that they can use to buy an AK or any other gun or ammo at a local gun shop.

    If it works to get new accounts, then more power to them.

    Here in Massachusetts there's a five-day waiting period for a toaster oven.

    I think that might be the one that was featured in Michael Moores "Bowling for Columbine"??

    .....just a sneaky campaign to do more harm than good ! An obvious ploy from the anti-gun crowd , while taking on the image of "the good guys"
    Nothing but the finest weapon construction and parts used !

    Hey thanks for the link... about 35% of our business is charged out on credit cards each year... that's a lot of cashola. Saving a percent on the merchant charges adds up over the course of a year... if I can save a couple thousand dollars, that only helps out my bottom line... and free AK ($750 bucks towards and AK or cash, that's not too shabby either).

    I contacted them and am awaiting an email response as to their merchant CC rates.

    Maybe you could start listening to Somalian radio.

    On Sunday, the awards were handed out at a ceremony held at the Andalus radio station in Elasha Biyaha, a small town near Mogadishu, the capital. (Andalus was the part of Spain seized by the Arabs in the Middle Ages.) The first- and second-place winners won AK-47 assault rifles, some money and Islamic books. The third-place winner was given two hand grenades. The contestants were 10 to 17 years old.

    Now that's a giveaway
    For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe
