I just got through writing "Bad Girl Gun," when I picked up another outdoor magazine and found some learned gun guru, had a problem with pink guns for the girls.
The reasoning behind this lunacy was if a woman pulled a pink gun out in a self defense situation, the bad guy wouldn't take it seriously, might think its a toy. Yea right.
Ok, here is the situation. A young wife, stands at the door of her nursery room. Suddenly the door breaks open and a home invader looms in the doorway. Just like on the Binks commercial...of course the alarm goes off and scares the bad guy away, then only moments later Brinks calls and says everything is ok the police are on the way.
Do you really take the commercial seriously, well if you do you are grave yard bound.
In the real world, mom if she knows what she is doing, doesn't call the police or answer the Brinks company ringing the phone. She grabs her custom Remington 870 20 gauge,with the Pink stock. This crack head doesn't see the Pink Stock at all, but he hears the classical sound of a pump gun chambering a little Yellow load of Number three buckshot.
It really doesn't matter if the crackhead takes her pink gun seriously or not, because he is about to become a wall pizza. Gun fear factor means nothing here, it is shoot or die. She didn't pull the shotgun to give a warning or scare him away...if he runs he will only die tired.
If he comes foward he gets to die with the honor of being blasted by a cute chick with a pink shotgun. Either way it has little to do with taking a pink gun seriously.
Who thinks these things up anyway...
Pink guns are popular with the ladies because they think it's just for them and it'scool. If this sparks gun intrest among females that's great.
I like Pink Guns enough to invent the Pink Tiger design, an Uncle John desinger original for the Bad Girl who likes her pink gun with claws.
