Hummer Dealership Offers Firearms
Aug 24, 2009, 3:28 PM
If the auto industry is down, and Hummer is nearly out, one Hummer dealer has found an "Only in America" sort of solution. Lynch Hummer in St. Louis is offering a different kind of incentive: firearms. The dealership, which says it is the world's No. 1 volume Hummer dealer, is opening the world's first combined Hummer and firearms dealership.
In a release, owner Jim Lynch says the move to sell both wheels and firepower is "a natural fit. Our customers enjoy outdoor sports and the firearms have been a big hit with our Hummer owners."
Filling a portion of the dealership that used to sell Hummers are displays of guns from the likes of Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, Colt, Benelli, Beretta, Browning, Glock, and Ruger. Load up and peel out.--Karl Greenberg
