Wisconsin company that makes bullet-themed novelty glassware gifts guns to employees as early Christmas present

The move, although criticized across various social media platforms, seemed to sit well with the 16 full-time employees in the company

A Wisconsin company that manufactures bullet and gun-themed glassware, including 'bulletproof' whiskey glasses, beer mugs, and decanters which usually have a bullet embedded in the side, are drawing flak online after they decided to present their 16 full-time employees with controversial early Christmas gifts — guns.

According to the Daily Mail, each of the employees at the Hortonville-based Benshot was allowed to pick the weapon of their choice and then given gift cards so they could make their purchase at a retail store where the necessary background checks could be carried out. All but two of them accepted the gift, but co-owner Ben Wolfgram said that even those two are now reconsidering their choice after undergoing a mandated gun-safety course.
