I'm not sure what to type here or if I should make any statement at all...Yikes….
OK... Here goes…The orange tip is a bad idea. Making a real firearm look like a toy is a good way to send a message to law enforcement that I'll disguise my real gun in order to fool you. Makes you look like a nut job whose intent is to bend or distort the truth…
If attention was the intent you succeeded. A bright orange gun will get attention both bad and good. Some will wonder why you have a toy gun in the park. Some will be concerned if it’s a toy or not and will call someone to further investigate.
Wearing the camoflage, carrying the orange gun, and having the encounter recorded sounds to me like it was done to draw the attention. Mission accomplished. Not the first post on this site and others that have shown attention getters making a point.
Stunts like this will further draw the attention of the anti-gunners.
Now, I'm not one for drawing a conclusion about a group as a whole from one or two members of the group, but some folks will.
If possible open carry where permitted. Do so with some common sense. Orange tipped barrels... Yea… No...
Bring attention to the cause but do so with pride and with some common sense. If I had to choose a representative to portray the American gun owner I’ll choose the fundamentalist not the radical…
Due to inflation that’s my .5 cents need to keep the other 1.5 cents. Waiting for the Obama Economic Stimulus Plan to kick in and saving for a Dillon reloader:laugh:
+1. The whole thing sounds to me like a grand stand play by someone looking for a confrontation.
