“Grins and Glocks” — that’s the promotion from one North Carolina orthodontists’ office, according toWRAL News,FOX10andCBS17.
Patients can also opt to get a Silver membership at the Youngsville Gun Club & Range, according to the offer, which was sent to the club’s email list, Gladwell told the outlet.
“Not everyone that comes into our office is going to be eligible; it’s not marketed to everyone. It is solely designed and marketed for the Youngsville Gun Club and Range,” Gladwell said.
“The promotion is nontransferable,” he added. “The person who actually gets started with the Invisalign treatment has to actually be the eligible person.”
“The concern here is that we’re not having firearms transferred to folks who do not qualify to possess them,” he said. “This could be folks with criminal histories, mental health issues, drug and alcohol abuse issues, restraining orders against them – or in the case of a handgun – under the age of 21.”
“It’s a process,” Lieberman told WRAL News. “They have to come; they have to have a valid driver’s license. They have to be a legal citizen; they have to be 21 and older. We do a background check here on-site. That has to come back approved. They have to fill out all the paperwork.”
Jennifer Copeland, the executive director of the NC Council of Churches, explained to WRAL News that while she was “pleased” they were going to follow the gun laws in North Carolina, despite being “very minimal,” the promotion still concerned her.
“The fact remains that after we go through these checks, they’re going to give a gun to somebody who’s going to take it home, and it will be in their home,” Copeland added.
