Shooter
Wow, really? Calm down. People personalize everything. How does that affect your daily life in any way?
Granted it may not be my personal style, but people have every right to make their guns pink, blue, green, yellow...I really don't care. If they can shoot and handle a gun smartly what else really matters? Don't be so judgmental, you'll start to pickle. And then I'd have to fry you and eat you.
Perhaps I was misunderstood. All I was trying to say is that I don't think the color should be a dominant factor in purchasing a firearm. If you buy a car simply because it looks cute, you may be getting yourself into hot water. If you buy a gun simply because it's pink you may end up with something that is difficult for you to shoot. I've seen it happen first hand and more than one woman I know regrets it. My comment was not meant to flame anyone and if it came across that way you have my apologies. I just think it's a really bad idea to say "it has to be pink" when so many other factors are far more important when choosing something that you may have to use to defend your life. And whether we like it or not it does feed a stereotype. Some women are okay with that but when people automatically suggest pink guns for women just because of their gender (again...first hand experience) it's a bit ridiculous. You want it pink, purple, rainbow, flowers, or polka dots, fine. Whatever. But don't get something just because of that. Yes I'm aware you can buy a gun you like and have it coated, but the OP made it sound like the original color was a deciding factor. Some people truly are that way and don't want to take the time or effort to customize it themselves. Again, not trying to judge, not trying to flame, just hoping that someone wouldn't purchase a weapon on looks alone. And after reading your post, I now want fried pickles. Thanks for that...
