Wisconsin Company Gifts All its Employees with Handguns for Christmas

Nothing represents the true spirit of the season like gifting employees with a deadly weapon!

HORTONVILLE, Wis. — A company that produces novelty glassware embedded with a bullet as if it had been shot has decided to give every employee a handgun as a Christmas present.

Giving employees their choice of revolver as a gift is part of an effort to promote personal safety and team building, Ben Wolfgram, who co-owns Hortonville-based BenShot, said Tuesday.

This comes at a time in this country when most companies and government agencies are showing active shooter videos for employee training purposes.
