    Naming your guns...

    A buddy mentioned that it's bad luck not to name your gun. Hogwash or not?

    I did a search here & only found a thread on naming your dog after a gun reference. I.e. Kimber, Breech, Ruger, etc.

    BTW, the same buddy mentioned I should name my next dog Stane, but I'm not sure how folks would react when I would tell the dog to come.

    I named my S&W MP40 "Steve"......after Steve Mcqueen.

        All my rifles, pistols and shotguns have names.
        I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

        As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

              Everyone knows that Savannah is the one my wife affectionately calls the other woman and Savannah's cousin Caroline is a cute little tart.

                I named my first car when I was in high school.
                That was the last time that I've named anything, other than referring to various vehicles as "effing POS"
                It's "the truck", "the bike", or "the car".
                If the context isn't clear, then it's "the Dirtbike/Yamaha", "the CB/Honda", "the Bagger/Vulcan/Kawi", "the Rav", "the Blazer", etc....

                  I had an Astro Van that I named "Phantom"....it broke shortly after it received the name.

                    Come to think of it none of my guns have names.I would forget them and call one of them the wrong name while shooting.

                      LOL!


                      A guy that used to be in my riding club always used to call his current GF "Princess".
                      Went through 4 or 5.
                      On the 6th one, she made him quit riding... we added "PW" to the beginning of his roadname.

                        That's silly.

                        It's only bad luck if you get caught "fondling" one.

                        I once had a Ford Aerostar , the family named it Sergio. Because it would act up
                        once in while when the engine would Surge for no good reason. It was really
                        neat when it would do it at traffic stops especially with someone in front of
                        you.

                        Happy Day when that pile blew up.

                          Too many to name
                          God, grant me the serenity
                          To accept the things I cannot change;
                          The courage to change the things I can;
                          And the wisdom to know the difference.

                              No names for mine. I think my friends would get concerned.
