gitcha a $600 gun over twelve months = ~$50/mo.

still not bad for poor schmucks like me.

In the past, I've bought 10-12 guns on Carter's free finance offer.

Your warning is valid.

As a precaution, I pay the 12 month deal off in 11 months. Not that much more per month and it protects against a payment being posted late. The balance is always paid off well before the date any penalty would affix.

Received Carter's Free Finance flyer in today's mail.

Sales begins on the 19th and ends Aug 1st.

12 months free interest

6 months on handguns below $500.

Oh Dudes, you should not have let me hear about this 12 month financing deal at Carter's Country. I've recently purchased online from Bud's Gun Shop, they've got a similar 90 days/same as cash deal with no interest...but 12 months/no interest, that's almost too good to pass up! Heck, I don't even need another pistol...but I might just get a new Sig P226 for the fun of it (had my eye on one of these for a while now)!

After all these years of denial, I guess I really am a gun nut after all!
