      Lol@movie zombie.

      I needed a calm down moment.

      I get so darned cranky over pink threads (not the clothing)

      Actually I was completely agreeing with you; in my opinion other factors contributing to unintentional shootings by children (lack of properly securing firearms, insufficiently monitoring children, lack of age-appropriate safety training, etc.) far outweigh the risk added by making the gun more visually appealing.

      That said, I am not personally fond of pink as a color and I find the marketing urge to make a "girly" version of everything pretty silly ("Here's a pink power drill for girls! Here's a pink laptop for girls!") It would be cool if more firearms came in a variety of anodized colors -- I'm sure there are plenty of men and women who'd be interested in cherry red, or royal blue, etc. But this being California, I'm sure only one color would end up on the CA-DOJ approved handgun roster...

      Sorry, I wrote my response in a hurry whilst I was being told to hurry up its time to leave.

      And the Lady BIC, here I was so unable to write until BIC came out with a girly pen just for me!

        The wife wanted her own range bag.

        She got tired of digging through my range bag for all her stuff.

        This is what she picked out.












        I think it goes pretty well with all her stuff.






        I am just happy we get to go shooting together!

            This is 'murica. If a gal or guy for that matter want's a pink gun with purple flowers on it, who cares.
            Pink may be for nail polish but guns are for the 2nd amendment which is colorblind!

              you are indeed a fortunate man!


              LOL, Chick, I didn't notice the gun until you mentioned there was one and I went back and looked a the picture again! sigh.

              perhaps time to rethink how one conceal carries especially if one doesn't have a CCW?

              and, admittedly, I like mad's "2A is color blind" statement..........tag worthy!

                I recant my former position. Based on the number of different threads, and the posts per each of those threads, clearly "pink" is the most popular and significant topic in the Women's Forum.

                Maybe we really need an independent "Pink Forum" to manage all the traffic....

                    I totally agree.

                    I am sick of walking into the shop and being presented with a bunch of pink crap. I love pink - its a beautiful shade... but I want to scream every time I am offered a pink camo shooting hat (when I want a basic black one), or rhinestone grips (when I want rubber... for functionality not looks).

                    Just because I am female does not mean I want pink crap!

                      Hmmm, I have never been offered a pink anything when I walk in to a gun store. I wonder what I am doing right or wrong as the case may be......

                            We already consider the entire women's forum to be the "pink forum" so you're GTG...besides, this thread is prime OT material...please please move it there. Muahahaha

                                Probably at this point you are correct, however there was a time when I was still carded when I was over 30, that maybe they would have offered me a pink something if the items had been available.

                                Now I get offered EB.

                                I would have gone purple back then because I still love purple.

                                I did have a purple Schwinn Stingray 3 or 5 speed bicycle. I miss that bike!
