Why does the gun industry play up the redneck angle so much? As a gun owner that carries most of the time, I love a good custom holster. However, I cringe at the NRA's portrayal of the typical gun owner. Not every gun owner is a chubby white person that looks like they buy their clothes at thrift stores and Wal Mart. Why do gun owners enjoy their own gun rights groups running with the stereotype that gun owners are a mix of the banjo playing kid from Deliverance and Larry the Cable Guy?
Because for the most part we don't really care how we are portrayed. At least, the gun owners that I know don't. The only time we really care is when some idiot uses a gun inappropriately and we are suddenly being portrayed as "just like him." Other than that, if people want to think that all gun owners are overweight, inbred hicks more power to them. You'd be amazed how many times I've had people talk about how "evil" or "stupid" gun owners are, either right in front of me or directly to me, and they never realised that I was carrying at the time. I just smile, nod, and go on my merry way. I learned a long time ago that when someone is convinced against their will, they aren't convinced. Far be it from me to shoot down their pipe dreams.
LOL,
Yeah, like someone from Antifa is gonna beat me up.
Oh, I'm sooooooo scared.
Seriously, I'm wayyyyyyy more likely to be killed by some drunk redneck and his POS pickup truck,
I swear, you folks live in your own paranoid little world that has no relationship to reality whatsoever.

Liberals think personal safety is the responsibility of someone else. CWP holders have save countless lives and the next life they may save is you or someone you know.
Now its not every day Anitfa Thug assaults people but one cannot go thru life blindfolded.

I'm STILL wayyyyyyy more likely to be killed by some drunk redneck and his POS pickup truck - and in fact SO are YOU.
A young mother got the gun of her dreams for Christmas here a few years ago. And got a brand new gun holster purse to carry it in that was supposedly much safer for carry than a regular purse.
Two days after Christmas, her toddler got her pistol out of that safe purse and shot her through the head with it at a WalMart, where she and a young relative were returning some presents. She died instantly, suddenly ending her blossoming career as a nuclear physicst.
So much for all that high-fash design. Several of those holsters looked to be far more deadly for the wearer than anyone else.
More children die from pool drownings so spare me the appeal to emotion.
1. Gives a criminal something to grab onto and snatch from you.
2. Kids being kids rifling through stuff.
3. Leaving it behind in a shopping cart. I've seen that happen with normal purses.
Keep it on your body. Reduce your risk. Purses are the absolute worst idea ever. You keep one in your waist band elsewhere... There's no telling it's on you or leaves it out of your reach or potentially stolen... or to be put down and forgotten about even for just a brief moment.
And you missed my other post about the lady in the Walmart. It is absolutely imperative that you keep your purse on your person which is why if I carry this way it is only in a crossbody style with it next to me at all times. Don't get me started on dudes who leave their handgun in a public restroom. Of course it is always best on your person in an inside waistband but some feminine clothing does not allow for this. I won't carry in a booby holster for more reasons than one. My pistols are too big.
It's nice to see the NRA embrace real people and sized models in their fashion show instead of standard runway models.
They are way ahead of the Hollywood types. I was watching Access Holywood or one of those shows bragging on plus size models "saying it was about time", when it reality it is their industry that perpetuated the 00 size Ideal in the first place
