Welcome to Georgia.

sneakycastro75 · 2012-09-04T15:49:12+00:00

As a resident of Atlanta, I can confirm this is real.

empw · 2012-09-04T16:54:08+00:00

That's a damn good deal.

Rasta_Man69 · 2012-09-04T17:07:38+00:00

I live in Georgia..... and it looks like im getting diamonds and rifles tonight.

Grindstone50k · 2012-09-04T15:51:21+00:00

That's actually a pretty good deal. You can get a diamond ring for, what, a couple hundred? Most rifles are at least that much, too. Double your money, there.

Lahroo77 · 2012-09-04T14:05:41+00:00

Shotgun would've been better.

emcredneck · 2012-09-04T18:28:21+00:00

As a Georgia resident, I approve this sign.

futurexgirlfriend · 2012-09-04T19:21:16+00:00

As an Atlanta resident, I must say fuck clearchannel.

HiImTed · 2012-09-04T15:56:48+00:00

What does it say about me that this is actually quite enticing?

DearStabby · 2012-09-04T19:25:04+00:00

I would rather have an engagement rifle than a diamond.

XaroXhaonDaxos · 2012-09-04T14:54:52+00:00

For all of your shotgun wedding needs!

gyarrr · 2012-09-04T16:47:54+00:00

In michigan, many years ago, there was a bank that would give you a gun if you opened an account with them. A hunting rifle, mind you, but still they were both a bank and a licensed firearm dealer.

DionysusInRapture · 2012-09-04T18:29:07+00:00

Considering my cousin wouldn't have been able to marry her husband were it not for the selling of my late-uncle's gun collection, I find the ceaseless denigration of Southern culture hackneyed and vapid.

That being said, that there's not a bad deal at all hock-spit

GammaGrace · 2012-09-04T16:46:42+00:00

Bitch, please... They've been doing that in Wisconsin for years.

SavageCain · 2012-09-04T16:51:12+00:00

There is a lack of zombies in this post

Yep it's on I75

ZeroGSpaceCow · 2012-09-04T16:20:21+00:00

Fuck, I'm sorry I missed that deal...

GODhimself37 · 2012-09-04T16:22:42+00:00

South on 75?

I considered reaping in the karma for this thing but I let it be.

Irrelevant_muffins · 2012-09-04T17:50:53+00:00

And D. Gellar & Son is one of the most expensive, highest advertised jewelry store in the area. Is Shane Co. giving away tractors?

massaikosis · 2012-09-04T20:52:00+00:00

do not see what is so funny

Wheelchairdawg · 2012-09-04T20:52:22+00:00

Is this real?

Because

I live in Georgia

and

I actually need both of these things

Volcris · 2012-09-04T16:50:23+00:00

This is a cultural thing. In Georgia it is a long standing tradition that when a man marries a woman, her father is standing nearby pointing a gun at him.

ShingamiOfSmarm · 2012-09-04T15:32:51+00:00

I live near this- it's tooootally real. Sad part is, it's like 7 minutes out of Atlanta. This sign is in the CIVILIZED, non-redneck area (relative to the rest) of Georgia. In the southern parts of Georgia, the sign just reads "Buy a gun, get wife"

leedorham · 2012-09-04T15:34:43+00:00

That appears to be the ubiquitous and always reliable Ruger M77 so you'd probably have to spend quite a bit on the ring.

_hack_n_slash · 2012-09-04T20:30:14+00:00

Somewhere out there, there is a group of hipsters who dress like rednecks down to the dirty packers shirt, and they are the envy of all their stinky hipster friends. Everyday one more hipster gets so pissed off about not thinking about dressing like a hick first that the only thing they can do is start dressing like that and tell everyone they were doing it before everyone else. This process happens exponentially for years until eventually the lines between hipster redneck and real redneck become so blurry the only way to tell them apart is to pull up the sleeve on their flannels to expose their text tattoos. Without a daily dose of lame fake reading glasses and fixed gear bicycling, the hipsters brains start to atrophy, and eventually become globs of infected mush driving them like zombies to seek out any non-starbucks coffee houses or second hand clothing stores they can find. After a while, they catch the scent of your old record collection, and that is the beginning of the end.

Story to be continued by someone else.

G3N3R4L · 2012-09-04T17:25:23+00:00

We have that in Wisconsin too, except it's a shotgun.

remhawk99 · 2012-09-04T16:35:53+00:00

Am I the only one here who likes guns? No I am not a bible thumping moron (atheist, if you care), and I do not intend to marry anyone in the family. That being said this sign is pretty white trashy.

enjo13 · 2012-09-04T18:25:08+00:00

About 15 years ago I saw a similar offer in Arkansas:

"Buy your school supplies here and get a free rifle"

I really wish I had a camera phone back then:(

orzof · 2012-09-04T17:47:37+00:00

Fucking backwoods redneckery. Around here, where we have some semblance of civilization, it's buy a necklace, get a shotgun.

dfdafgd · 2012-09-04T14:12:44+00:00

Fuck. Where I'm from we just get a rifle.

bastocrat · 2012-09-04T17:00:39+00:00

I knew I shouldn't have bought the rings in germany!

thegreatgazoo · 2012-09-04T17:08:23+00:00

Pretty good deal for the Kennesaw store. Get a ring and make yourself legal in the city with one purchase.

Ragegasm · 2012-09-04T17:17:16+00:00

It's weird that out of the non-stop D Gellar and Son advertisements on the radio, I've never heard them mention a free rifle. What a waste of an amazing promotion!

rtirado · 2012-09-04T17:20:58+00:00

Haha, I drive past this pretty much every day. Should have taken the picture when I thought about it, lol.

dimebagellefson · 2012-09-04T17:22:17+00:00

I know where I'm going to get an engagement ring!

amk10003 · 2012-09-04T17:22:53+00:00

If every jewelry store did this, there'd be a lot more happily engaged/married women in this country. What an incentive!

mcguire · 2012-09-04T17:30:19+00:00

You know what they say, "If you love her, set her free. If she doesn't come back,..."

PopgunTookers · 2012-09-04T17:30:31+00:00

As a former Wisconsinite, I can tell you this deal is there, too.

Hazy_V · 2012-09-04T17:31:53+00:00

Must be a lot of happy relationships over there :D

dh0271 · 2012-09-04T17:32:23+00:00

Saw this on the way back down from Nashville on 75 yesterday! Made me kind of want to go buy a diamond.

HeyJustWantedToSay · 2012-09-04T10:33:29-07:00

"Affordable jewelry for everyone is at D. Geller & Son!"

That's the jingle. For D. Geller & Son.

finchreed201 · 2012-09-04T17:35:39+00:00

I have been by there a lot and haven't seen it. I got to go up to Calhoun on Saturday I know what I am doing on my way back

PinballWizrd · 2012-09-04T17:35:54+00:00

For the first time in my life, I almost wish I lived in Georgia right now.

danomano · 2012-09-04T17:37:16+00:00

75 between North loop and Canton Highway - thought that sign was crazy but didn't think to post it to reddit /facepalm.

Etere · 2012-09-04T17:41:09+00:00

We got the same thing is Wisconsin.

Trolls-Gone-Wild · 2012-09-04T17:43:04+00:00

I pass this on my way to work everyday, if only I took a picture I could have cashed in on the delicious karma.

Krywiggles · 2012-09-04T10:47:03-07:00

what town is this near? I'm in Albany, GA

Gilmoreddit · 2012-09-04T10:48:05-07:00

Then use the gun to get your money back for the diamond...

supnul · 2012-09-04T17:53:01+00:00

tempting.

zdaytonaroadster · 2012-09-04T17:57:15+00:00

Southside of Atlanta here....being a gun guy (and no fuck off not a redneck, have a B/A and Romney sucks cocks) i checked out the rifle out just to see what it was...its acutally a pretty nice Savage 111 model...about a $300-400 rifle

RTFW · 2012-09-04T17:57:40+00:00

I guess my wife can get that diamond ring after all. I mean, I have teenaged daughters. A new gun is always useful when you have those around the house. Boys sometimes just need to be reminded that you have a gun and a shovel and nobody is going to miss them.

Inappro_Pro · 2012-09-04T17:59:32+00:00

Damn, that is a REALLY good deal.

theyellowdot1 · 2012-09-04T18:00:35+00:00

I have seen this...

Burf-_- · 2012-09-04T18:00:45+00:00

If she says no , refund ? bonus free rifle ?

glewis_ · 2012-09-04T18:01:19+00:00

Between 120 and Canton road on I-75.

Pass this spot everyday. Noticed it Saturday night coming home from work.

The karma lost...

agent4573 · 2012-09-04T18:03:12+00:00

As someone who is thinking about proposing soon, a gimmick like that would make up my mind as to where to buy the ring. I want a new gun, she wants a ring, we both win. Now only if they offered something like that in CA....

joegekko · 2012-09-04T18:09:50+00:00

I bought my fiance an engagement ring, and told her she should get me an engagement rifle.

She offered to get me a watch.

Tomical · 2012-09-04T18:12:04+00:00

C'mon, I live in Wisconsin and they do the exact same thing, only it's usually a shotgun.

nfirm · 2012-09-04T18:20:05+00:00

The best part is that you can claim you spent X on the ring when you really only spent X - Gun on her while spending Gun on yourself. Hopefully the box for the ring doesn't have their shop name on it or she'll start the nagging ahead of schedule.

progdrumr · 2012-09-04T18:20:23+00:00

With this deal, you could kill 2 birds with one stone...

kirona_skymage · 2012-09-04T18:28:35+00:00

Wisconsin does this too. Annually.

Litagano · 2012-09-04T18:28:36+00:00

Neat, I live in Georgia.

iceburglettuce · 2012-09-04T18:28:49+00:00

Well this is where they film walking dead, one can never be too careful.

djereezy · 2012-09-04T11:28:54-07:00

awesome

playaplayadog · 2012-09-04T18:29:05+00:00

i passed by this billboard earlier today and just shook my head...what a redneck sales ploy. lol

DDDowney · 2012-09-04T18:29:41+00:00

As a citizen of Rome, I can confirm this is real.

giltheninja · 2012-09-04T18:30:58+00:00

I saw this exact sign on my way to Athens last night. Who woulda thought

fcku · 2012-09-04T18:35:42+00:00

I drive by that sign every day on my way to work.. Should've thought of it sooner

joshnix · 2012-09-04T18:35:50+00:00

Cato, is this your Reddit account?!

Apocalypstix · 2012-09-04T18:38:26+00:00

You have to spend a min. It's not worth it, you can get one online, cheaper and then just buy the gun for what you'd spend there. :/

jazzyminpc · 2012-09-04T18:40:34+00:00

Why if I told you I wanted the rifle not the diamond?

alxclrk · 2012-09-04T18:42:26+00:00

With 10 thousand rounds of free ammo. Because you need that much.

GaianAvatar · 2012-09-04T18:44:35+00:00

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In Detroit, buy a rifle, get free diamonds.

upvotemeorurracist · 2012-09-04T18:45:59+00:00

Sounds like a good deal!

SPITTMAN · 2012-09-04T18:47:15+00:00

maybe if it was a free 1967 colt 45

molinosjm · 2012-09-04T18:48:10+00:00

What the Buck?!

Igiveoutupvotes · 2012-09-04T18:48:44+00:00

Oh god... I've seen this sign before. sigh This is Georgia

Welcome to $redstate

FTFY

rsmoot · 2012-09-04T18:54:37+00:00

Yeah, that seems about right.

igreilly · 2012-09-04T18:55:00+00:00

Fellow Georgian here.
A local car dealership was advertising a free shotgun with every purchase of a particular pickup truck.

evan274 · 2012-09-04T18:55:22+00:00

Fucking Clear Channel.

Bass_Shogun · 2012-09-04T18:55:23+00:00

Affordable jewelry (and guns) for everyone, at D. Geller & Son.

yhoshua · 2012-09-04T18:57:12+00:00

I bet you can find similarly disturbing signs in almost every state... It's not a Georgia thing.

Ryugi · 2012-09-04T18:58:05+00:00

SOLD!

boomhaeur · 2012-09-04T19:00:20+00:00

Ah, the good old "Father-in-law" special.

RideFresh · 2012-09-04T19:03:21+00:00

I know exactly where this is oddly enough. About 45 minutes outside of Atlanta on Hwy 400.

sledge07 · 2012-09-04T19:05:58+00:00

The funny part is, that is Atlanta. Just imagine what it's like down south where I'm from! Buying her a gun IS her diamond.

whhaaa · 2012-09-04T19:06:22+00:00

Passed by this over 10 times this week, I need better foresight!

isabelllllly · 2012-09-04T19:08:30+00:00

Omg this is on 75 near Kennesaw! Saw it yesterday and thought about taking a picture but I was driving.

FluffyPuddles · 2012-09-04T19:08:34+00:00

If they had this deal in Indiana, I might just get my ring sooner.

Fseidl123 · 2012-09-04T19:12:50+00:00

Buy a bottle of whiskey, get a free gun.

jdcooktx · 2012-09-04T19:14:55+00:00

Buy a rifle, get lots of free diamonds.

Tanalius · 2012-09-04T19:15:31+00:00

Hahaha. I know and talk to this store almost on a weekly basis. I should email David a link to this thread.

juliusseizure · 2012-09-04T19:16:25+00:00

Make her an offer she can't refuse.

trunner101 · 2012-09-04T19:18:43+00:00

That is AWESOME

This is embarrassing as Hell.... And I work in a pawn shop in GA.

TheOnlyMonty · 2012-09-04T19:28:55+00:00

This is not representative of most Georgians.

Graizur · 2012-09-04T19:29:30+00:00

I dont find this at all funny. If it's meant to be sort of ironic people who like guns would laugh.

poopOnU · 2012-09-04T19:30:04+00:00

For some reason I thought this was about Georgia the country so I was a bit confused when seeing the image. I also thought wow Georgia is more barbaric than I previously thought.

spacemanspiiff · 2012-09-04T19:31:22+00:00

I don't know if I'm remembering this right, but I'm pretty sure when I went to the US (Washington state) many years ago we drove by a giant sign by the freeway saying "Guns & Cappuccino"

NinjaBanana1 · 2012-09-04T19:32:36+00:00

I did this... It was a great deal.

DolitehGreat · 2012-09-04T19:40:29+00:00

I know the son. He used to play airsoft at the field I used to work at and he was a prick.

DuckyFuck · 2012-09-04T19:42:33+00:00

I saw that when I was driving my dad to the airport on Saturday, I didn't have time to take a picture though.

Racist_Grandma · 2012-09-04T19:44:44+00:00

best sign ever was in missouri. it advertised for a combination donut shop/liquor store! nothing like stocking up on jelly rolls and jack daniels!

RebaBlack · 2012-09-04T19:49:01+00:00

All it's missing is an ad. for a defense attorney.

DrStuttgart · 2012-09-04T19:52:09+00:00

One of the local truck stores in Fl was giving away ak-47's to anyone who bought a new pickup. So this isn't just a Georgia thing lol

TrebeckStache · 2012-09-04T19:52:10+00:00

She will want a nice pelt to wear with her new diamonds. win win

GrecianFury · 2012-09-04T19:55:48+00:00

I recently went to the Incubus/Linkin Park show in GA and there was a raffle outside the concert for either a high powered go cart or handgun, you don't see that kind of thing around Chicago.

jovianmoon · 2012-09-04T19:59:27+00:00

I drive by this sign every damn day and have been meaning to post this. DAMN-IT!!!!!! I want my sweet, sweet, karma!!!!!

ktn_mtns · 2012-09-04T20:00:10+00:00

One to pick her up. One to put her down.

thorns0014 · 2012-09-04T20:04:12+00:00

As a resident of Macon I can confirm this

simkolev · 2012-09-04T20:07:55+00:00

I lost all hope in humanity while spending 10 years living in GA. Moved to Europe.

Edwardian · 2012-09-04T20:08:45+00:00

Darn it, I got my wife's engagement ring, and BOTH of our wedding rings there, yet NO GUN!!!!!

lloz15 · 2012-09-04T20:16:52+00:00

Home, sweet home.

RadiusOfTheFun · 2012-09-04T20:29:16+00:00

I live in Atlanta as well. I sort of hate how Georgia is given this bad rep for being Red-Neck (which it is quite so in certain areas) but Atlanta itself is nothing like this. I hate the exaggerated view of all of Georgia, and that it's all the same.

AsHLeRoSe · 2012-09-04T20:43:38+00:00

Everyone should get a gun when they get married! Makes a lot of sense to me. ;)

juslen · 2012-09-04T20:51:57+00:00

We have the same type of thing in Wisconsin.

iEatMaPoo · 2012-09-04T20:56:53+00:00

The rifle is for if you regret your decision

I_TYPE_IN_ALL_CAPS · 2012-09-04T21:03:21+00:00

CHEAPER THAN A DIVORCE AND DOESN'T REQUIRE HER SIGNATURE LIKE WITH A PRENUP.

Gene_The_Stoner · 2012-09-04T21:03:58+00:00

Sounds like a great incentive to me.

ShinyBaubles · 2012-09-04T21:07:26+00:00

I saw that Saturday going to Dragon*Con! Shoulda Karma-whored it up when I got the chance!

snoopdrj · 2012-09-04T21:10:59+00:00

Damnit! I drove past this Saturday and couldn't get a picture. I said to my wife, "that is front page right there," then forgot about it.

funny
