Car dealer gives free gun with car purchase

A Butler, Missouri car dealer is holding a controversial promotion involving handguns.

Max Motors in Butler is offering anyone who buys a car the choice of $250 in gas or a free semi-automatic handgun.

"Like I say, it's a choice -- protection or gas," said Walter Moore with Max Motors.

The handgun is the more popular choice with 80% choosing the gun.

Moore said the dealership will hand the customer a certificate to get the gun, but you must pass a background check.

The local police chief said he is OK with the promotion as long as the weapons aren't handed out at the dealership.
