Guns and Hummers







What could be more American?

Lynch Hummer in Chesterfield, Mo. recently became the world's first combined Hummer and firearms dealership. Jim Lynch has turned his $7.5 million Hummer facility in this upscale St. Louis suburb into a shooting enthusiast's attraction. "It is a natural fit," says Lynch. "Our customers enjoy outdoor sports and the firearms have been a big hit with our Hummer owners."

With the automobile industry suffering sharp sales declines, Lynch found himself with what was an underutilized showroom, thus he now augments his Hummer H2 and H3 stock with hardware from Smith & Wesson, Colt, Glock and other gun-makers, as well as ammunition of all kinds.

Comment: “Natural fit” or not, the pairing makes us nervous. It’s kind of like having a combined Chevy dealership and liquor store.
