Hummer dealership aims at new customers

Give some credit to the No. 1 Hummer dealer in the US to find a way to keep a bead on potential customers.

Jim Lynch, of St. Louis Lynch Hummer has decided to use up his empty floor space to sell guns.

"It is a natural fit," said Lynch in a news release. "Our customers enjoy outdoor sports and the firearms have been a big hit with our Hummer owners."

The dealership touts weapons from all of the major firearm manufacturers as well as a full line up of paramilitary vehicles. Warlords don't have this much firepower and transportation available.

While the guns add another feature to the dealership, it's not that Lynch had a typical place to begin with. His facility includes a 60-acre off road course along the Missouri River.

Now Lynch sells both Hummer accessories as well as firearm accessories. It's unclear if there will be any firearm accessories for the Hummers.
