Try not to call your gun a
weapon it has negative connotations. Call it a gun
Indeed a "weapon" brings to mind attack, aggression and other negative derivations.
Gun, handgun, pistol, revolver or by manufacturer and model. Any of these are apt dipictions of the defensive tool we carry for use only as a last resort.
I must disagree with this!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is backwards assed thinking!!
We recently tried to get VA to change your (I don't have a VA permit) current CHP(?)'s to CWP's so those with a VA permit could carry a variety of items concealed not just a firearm/handgun.
So, by stating weapon is negative you are feeding into those that oppose our position.
FL has a CWP (IIRC) please tell me what is offensive or negative by the use of the word weapon.
Weapon is just a general term used to describe a tool used to defend or attack.
I know some NRA instructor will chime in telling us the NRA doesn't want their instructors using the word "weapon" during class, I say who gives a chit what the NRA wants outside of the environment they can control.
As a former service member calling your rifle or sidearm a gun would result in you running in circles holding your genitals all while sing a neat little tone.
