  A franchise owner of a Radioshack store in Montana has not the tech chain a little upset. It's because Steve Strand has been giving away gift cards for 125 dollar pistols or 115 dollar shotguns-- to anyone who signs up for a Dish Network package sold out of the store. If they don't want a gun, they can get a 50 dollar pizza gift certificate. Radioshack says Strand is not following its marketing practices. Strand says "I don't think they understand the way of life in Montana."
