Jewelry store in Iowa offers free shotgun with ring purchase. Photo courtesy of Daily Times.

We’ve all heard the term “shotgun wedding” but here’s a new spin on the old phrase. A jeweler in Iowa is running a promotion where you can get a free shotgun with a purchase of an engagement ring.

Apparently if a guy spends at least $1,999 he’ll get a voucher for a free  Remington 870 shotgun.

The jeweler, Harold van Beek was quoted in another article saying, ““Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.So say: I’m hunting deer, and here is a diamond ring, dear.”

I guess it could be pretty good incentive to get a decent quality ring. Right?

The promotion runs through October 31st at Jewellery by Harold in North Liberty so hurry up and take advantage if you’re eligible. The only requirement (besides not being a convicted felon  or drug addict) is to be eligible to own a gun according to Iowa regulations. Apparently there’s a gun safety course you need to take before receiving your license.

What do you think of this wonky engagement ring promotion?
