Shotgun wedding? This Crestview pawn shop has a gun for you

CRESTVIEW — Area couples planning shotgun weddings need look no farther than Pawn Nation.

During the "Buy a Bling, Get a Boom" promotion, customers who purchase jewelry totaling $1,000 or more will receive a free shotgun.

The offer, available now through April, to celebrate the store's first year in business, helps the guy who might rather have a shotgun than the jewelry preferred by his significant other.

"My partners and I … wanted to combine the two," Pawn Nation owner Ron Bonavita said.

But there are a few other requirements to snag this deal.

Buyers must be 18 or older and fill out Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms form 4473, Bonavita said.

"You must fill out the form, which is a background check. It has to be filled out before we can release the shotgun into your possession," he said.

The shotguns part of the deal is "a brand new, pump-action 12-gauge," Bonavita said. The brand name will vary depending on what he has in stock.

Visit Pawn Nation — 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday or 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at 3301 S. Ferdon Blvd., Crestview —  or call 306-2483 for details.
