Even our own local WIOD ignorant morning host, called it strange to offer a "automatic" assault weapon....But conceded it was legal.

Sanford truck dealer offers free AK-47s

A used truck dealer in Sanford has a Veteran's Day promotion that it hopes will spark sales.
It's giving away free AK-47 rifles.
But some of you think it goes to far."I was just taken back," said Tom Bartlet. He said his 19-year-old son came to him Thursday morning asking him to co-sign for him.
"They're going to give me an AK-47 if I buy a truck," the son told the father.
Bartlet says he owns shotguns for hunting and is a strong believer in the Second Amendment.
"But an AK-47, just the connotation of that weapon... it doesn't have a sporting purpose, it doesn't have a hunting purpose," he said.
Nick Ginetta, sales manger at Nations Trucks in Sanford, said he's a veteran and so is the owner. He said the promotion honors those that have sacrificed.
"So many have sacrificed so much for us to be able to do this," he said.
He says customers will get a voucher to take to a local gun shop where background checks will be done. If they don't want it, the dealership said they will offer customers other vouchers and gift certificates.***
Central Florida has a fine hog population, last time I checked, an AK is a very good swamp, scrub, brush, rifle to take some BBQ...
You can even scuff it up, get mud on it, smash the snake with the butt on the trail, even put a bayonet on it....Yes they have mag capacity restrictions, but well...you can carry several more...
Sounds like a great pig gun to me.
