Missouri Candidate Selling 'ISIS Hunting Permits' To Raise Campaign Cash

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Missouri Republican gubernatorial candidate Eric Greitens is selling so-called "ISIS hunting permits'' to raise money.

Greitens' campaign distributed an email Wednesday promoting bumper stickers with the words "ISIS HUNTING PERMIT 2016.'' The sticker says it expires when ``we defeat this evil.''

The campaign is selling the mock hunting tags for a $10 donation. For $100, donors can get stickers signed by a former Navy SEAL who claims he killed Osama bin Laden.

Greitens is a former Navy SEAL officer. He's touting his military background in his campaign for governor.

He faces a competitive four-way Republican primary Aug. 2. Also running are suburban St. Louis businessman John Brunner, former U.S. Attorney and House Speaker Catherine Hanaway and Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder.
