A car that comes fully loaded now has an entirely new meaning.

In an appeal to patriotism, a car dealership in Chatom, Ala., is offering a Bible, an American flag and a 12-gauge shotgun with any new or used vehicle as part of its Fourth of July sales promotion through July 31.

In a promotional video titled “God, Guns and Freedom,” Chatom Ford manager Koby Palmer cocks a shotgun in front of a red truck with an American flag draped across the tailgate.

“I guess it went viral, as the kids say,” Palmer told USA Today.

The promotion is meant to be patriotic not political, Palmer added.

“We don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea,” Palmer told Newsweek. “It’s not like we’re just walking around and handing out guns. This is just a small way we want to celebrate our independence and our loyal clients.”
