Anyone else find the first-person disturbing?

Does anyone remember the other ad a two months back about a gun? There was a woman shooting an intruder coming through the window? She was protecting her baby.

I looked for it, but cant find it again.

THIS (http://vintage-ads.livejournal.com/3546779.html) one? Otherwise, click on the 'gun' tag and it should bring them all up (IF they were tagged).

Unfortunately not, I looked at all the gun, wtf, wth tags. I also searched for all the Gun manufacturing names. I think it was either deleted, or untagged. Tagging so important!

That's what she said.

What is "plinking"? As in "for plinking or protection"???

write_light linked it, but you'd only want to use a teeny gun for plinking if you were okay with some recoil and a lot of noise. The appeal of something like this would be primarily that it would be very concealable, even with women's clothes. What's interesting to me here is how long gun manufacturers have been trying to convince women that it's okay, or even extra responsible, to carry.

A talking Beretta is like a talking Barbie for adults.

But it's a .22. You'd only annoy the person attacking you if you shot them with this, unless you were pretty darned close in. Sheesh. Get a Ladysmith and really make some holes!

The bigger caliber ones might be more sensible, if you're really looking for protection.

I think it's for grabbing out of one's purse/pocket at the last minute, not for Bonnie and Clyde reenactments. :D

[stasia]

True, but ... even if you grab it out of your purse at the last minute, you'll still need to empty your magazine into the person before they really stop. 22s are small.

I might be exposing my preference for the bigger bang, though. Heh.

*grin*

What's really disturbing is that the seductive tone of the copy actually made me misread the word "tuck"!

And she has siblings! Jethre is a good name for a gun. Or anything else you would find in a trailer park.

I don't knoww... If any of my weapons would start talking to me, I think I should leave them alone for a while.
