singlecoilpickup Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:37 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:37 PM So, the idea is to look like you're carrying so that potential threats know to shoot you first all while you're not actually able to defend yourself. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauserme Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:42 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:42 PM Their website links to an anti-gun site called the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence where you can get lots of reasons to prefer a pretend gun, and ways to help enact common sense regulations. They still don't get what open carry is about. ETA Apparently their products are free for the cost of shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwc Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:48 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:48 PM I have a Walther PPS air pistol that looks just like the real thing. [purple] At least that could be used to put out someone's eye. [/purple] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGDEESUL Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:50 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:50 PM Wow. I hope they're ready for lawsuits when they get someone killed with this garbage. Then again, eliminating anyone stupid enough to actually use it is helping the gene pool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singlecoilpickup Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:50 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:50 PM Also one of their pages on their site says "Be intimidating. Be protected." I'm reasonably certain that no one who is responsibly carrying is doing so to "be intimidating," and, in fact, strives for the exact opposite.

GlockShooter Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:53 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:53 PM A PCD device is meant to be a means of crime deterrent, rather than a means of self defense. After all, who's going to run up on a person with a gun?Someone who either wants it or wants to make sure you don't use it to stop them. Disclaimer: Perceived Carry Devices are not intended to be used in emergencies. If you find yourself in a life threatening situation, first seek safety, then dial 911 as you should when carrying a real firearm.I think they meant to say "after using your real firearm."

TRJ Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:55 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 08:55 PM I bet the guy/gal who is dumb enough to carry and print a fake gun is also dumb enough to brandish it hoping to let sketchy looking people and/or anyone who rubs them wrong know they "mean business". I bet a cop who got faked out by an obvious printer would be annoyed enough with having his nerves unnecessarily frayed by the mwag call that he'd have a disturbing the peace or other violation to ruin the idiot's day in return.

I'm guessing someone willing to buy one of these isn't aware of the safety rules when it comes to pointing it at others. What I don't get is if someone is willing to buy one, you would think they understand why you would want to carry in the first place. Why not just carry?

KarlJ Posted January 12, 2015 at 09:52 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 09:52 PM One of the best quotes: "At a fraction of the price of a real firearm, you too may enjoy the benefits of carrying a weapon, without having to shell out hundreds(sometimes $1000's)" The paragraph continues by saying:"for something that statistics show probably will not and/or should not be used." Following that logic, I should find "decoy" car insurance? It gets better:"While these are not actual firearms, their extreme resemblance to real guns tucked neatly in a holster may be enough to give you the jump on anyone who may wish to do you or your family harm." Are they serious? Really?They are actually suggesting that in a life or death situation, a "decoy gun" is a game plan? What kind of insane utopia are these people living in?

WtJen Posted January 12, 2015 at 10:20 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 10:20 PM Read over the specs on this.Safe one piece construction, device does not come out of holster So his theory is just the appearance of what looks like a holstered gun will deter a criminal.

Gamma Posted January 12, 2015 at 11:40 PM Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 11:40 PM What kind of insane utopia are these people living in?One where all they know about firearms and violence comes from watching TV shows and the movies. And whatever nonsense they've read on the dailykos or dumocratic underground. Here's all you need to know. After all, who's going to run up on a person with a gun?Answer: tons of bad guys, whos willingness to kill you is orders of magnitude stronger than your will to defend yourself from them. They'll sniff out your fear and hesitation in an instant. More dangerous than being unarmed, is being armed without the wherewithal to use it. This takes that truism a step further, in that it's impossible to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still don't get what open carry is about. ETA Apparently their products are free for the cost of shipping. You forgot to purple-fy the phrase "common sense", as the vast majority of what they propose is far from it. And for supposedly being run by legal folks, when you offer a "disclaimer" like this one: Disclaimer: Perceived Carry Devices are not intended to be used in emergencies. If you find yourself in a life threatening situation, first seek safety, then dial 911 as you should when carrying a real firearm. It shows how out of touch - or willingly blind - you are. Not only to a little thing like over 20 case decisions since 1856 where the burden of protection has been found to lie with the individual and not the government that any lawyer worth the title should know about, but the fact that the majority of cases involving the lawful use of lethal force are over long before 9-1-1 is notified, much less arrives. Unless, of course, your goal isn't justice, or the truth, but promoting an agenda that sees control as the ultimate goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoRonin70 Posted January 13, 2015 at 06:47 AM Share Posted January 13, 2015 at 06:47 AM Oh! Talk about nostalgia! I had the .38 snubnose one that came with an entire detective kit and shoulder holster! One of my uncles had one from the end of the 1950s that was in perfect condition when we got it in the mid-'70s, with all of the Shoooin' Shells and several boxes of the Greenie M caps! We literally wore it out from using it so much! That's probably the very best training tool for kids to learn how to shoot a firearm safely! It was also the coolest kid's toy ever created, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
