ROSEBURG — A Rose-
burg car dealer has come up
with a unique sales gimmick
— ‘Buy a car, get a gun.”
The sign went up in front of
Earnest Auto Sales last week,
the same day 200 people ral-
lied at the Douglas County
Courthouse in support of the
Second Amendment.
Anyone who purchases
a car from the lot will be
given a certificate that can
be exchanged for preselected
firearm from Roseburg Gun
Shop. The value of each fire-
arm averages around $300, the
News-Review reported.
If the customer is ineligi-
ble to receive a firearm under
federal, state or local laws,
then the certificate will be for-
feited. Only one certificate
given per purchase, made out
to the vehicle’s owner, and it’s
nontransferable.
Customers must be 18
years or older to participate
and the customer is respon-
sible for all background fees,
taxes and additional costs.
Owner Jeremy Magar said
he thought up the idea three
years ago, but only decided to
go ahead with it after hearing
about the rally. He hopes the
attention increases discussion
about gun rights, something he
feels is being threatened.
“It’s not just a sales gim-
mick,” Magar said. “It’s to
raise awareness that people are
going after our gun rights.”
Magar worked on the sale
for weeks before finalizing
it and putting up the sign. He
spoke with the Oregon State
Police and several attorneys
before approaching Roseburg
Gun Shop with the intent to do
a limited-run sale.
Preston, an employee at the
gun shop who did not want to
give his last name, said that
the gun shop recommended
the use of sporting rifles as
opposed to handguns as fed-
eral law requires a person to
be at least be 21 years of age
to purchase a handgun from a
licensed dealer.
“A small business, Earnest
Auto Sales, is trying to be local
friendly, support the Constitu-
tion,” Preston said. “For Rose-
burg, Douglas County, hunting
and recreational shooting is
a big part of society, and he’s
trying to show that he supports
that.”
The Douglas Board of
Commissioners recently voted
to place a Second Amendment
Preservation Ordinance on the
ballot in November. It would
give voters a chance to reaf-
firm their rights to bear arms.
This includes semi-automatic
weapons and high capacity
feed systems.
Magar paid for 10 rifles
of four different models, all
sporting rifles, to use for this
sale. Though initially planned
for one month, Magar said he
will consider extending it if all
goes well.
“I wouldn’t mind keeping
it going and have that being
my thing,” Magar said. “Who
doesn’t like free guns?”

Ranchers work together to protect
property from Oregon fires
Associated Press
SALEM — Ranchers came
together with heavy equip-
ment to protect their homes
and livestock from a series of
fires in central Oregon.
Lightning sparked two
fires last week that have com-
bined to burn 179 square
miles of heavy grass, sage
and juniper, the Capital Press
reported .
Ranchers evacuated cattle
and used their bulldozers and
equipment to dig fire breaks.
“All the ranches, we took
pretty much everything we
had,” said Joe Pechanec, the
cow boss for R2 Ranch. “It
was really kind of heartfelt.”
As many as 50 volun-
teers, including ranchers,
friends and family members,
along with firefighters from
the Bureau of Land Manage-
ment have joined the effort,
Pechanec said.
Firefighters expect to have
both fires contained by July 6.
“I think we’re going to be
OK,” Pechanec said.
The fires have scorched all
18 square miles of R2 Ranch’s
Bureau of Land Manage-
ment range along with about
4 square miles of private
grassland owned by Robert
Pamplin.
Ranchers won’t be able to
let their animals graze on the
affected land for two years,
meaning they will have to buy
hay to supplement feeding.
Pechanec estimated he
may lose up to $30,000 this
year on his hay costs.
BLM staff will work with
ranchers to accommodate
grazing needs and discuss
appropriate land management,
said Justin Rodgers, a range-
land management specialist
for the BLM in Prineville.
