I never really understood the whole pink gun thing the industry is exploring until I read this blue gun thread. I think that the idea must be to avoid all of the inconvenient paperwork and litigation of an actual shooting by carrying a weapon (or something that sort of looks like a weapon) that is so preposterous that the BG dissolves into a puddle of helpless laughter and takes himself out of the fight before there is one.

Thanks you guys. I never would have figured it out without you!

You don't know what a blue plastic training gun is and what its for? Its what I just said TRAINING. I practice constantly for my job and self protection ...well that's how I read ur post that u didn't understand why I had it on

As for pink guns its a marking action that failed

I kinda, sorta think maybe he knows what the blue (training) gun design purpose is. I read his reply, as I believe he intended, as a chuckle from his perspective on pink guns.

There are those (mostly younger females) that love them and the color has caused them to get more readily involved.

See no reason to take things so personal on this forum - in fact many good reasons to not.

You at least had something in your holster, I showed up at an event with an empty holster once.......and not by design. :eek:
