*(BOSTON) JUNE 19 – THE NEW HAMPSHIRE CAR DEALER WHO’S BEEN LEGALLY GIVING AWAY AN AR-15 SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON ASSAULT RIFLE WITH EVERY PURCHASE IS GETTING SOME PUSH BACK FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE PUBLIC.
FOX NEWS RADIO’S BILL MARCUS HAS MORE.
CAR DEALER MIKE HAGAN SAYS WHILE HE CAN’T SAY IF HIS GUN PROMOTION HAS EFFECTED SALES THIS WEEK IT HAS BOOSTED SALES SINCE IT BEGAN MAY 12TH. CREDIT APPLICATIONS ARE ALSO UP, BUT HAGAN SAYS HE CAN’T SAY BY HOW MUCH BECAUSE HE SAYS HE’S BEEN SO BUSY ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA THAT HE HASN’T HAD TIME TO COMPLETE THE FORMS.
THE OFFICE OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS YET TO RESPOND TO AN INQUIRY AS TO WHETHER THEY, TOO, WILL BE LOOKING INTO THE PROMOTION. ROCHESTER’S POLICE CHIEF CALLED THE PROMOTION ‘INSENSITIVE.”

ROCHESTER, NH POLICE CHIEF MIKE ALLEN SAYS HE FEELS HAGAN’S PROMOTION IS INSENSITIVE.
***
ROCHESTER, NH POLICE CHIEF MIKE ALLEN SAYS THE RIGHT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO STOP THE PROMOTION.

CAR DEALER MIKE HAGAN SAYS HE THINKING OF CHANGING HIS PROMOTION SO A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS GO TO A CHARITY TIED TO THE ORLANDO SHOOTINGS.

*CORRECTION: A SIG SAUER MCX WAS USED IN THE ORLANDO SHOOTING, NOT AN AR-15, AS IS IMPLIED BY THE STORY. THANK YOU TO TOM WATTS OF ROSWELL, NM FOR POINTING THIS OUT.
