Brightly colored, and colorful guns

[Officers'Wife]

Personally, I see a firearm as a tool not a fashion accessory. My Commander not being pink doesn't make me any less "feminine" than the car I drive being red, the crawler that I sometimes operate being yellow or the tractor I must sometimes use being green. I make my own life not the color of my tools.

I can take you to a place where grown men… Some even old enough to know better… Will argue endlessly that green tractors are inherently better than red ones. These arguments will actually get heated on occasion. But the fact remains of while there may be substantial differences between John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Kubota and even the venerable International Harvester, an AR-15 is going to perform exactly the same whether the furniture is pink, blue, black or chartreuse with yellow polka dots. As the widow woman said when she kissed the cow – to each their own.

I would not fault another human for the color of their vehicle, though I would press them to drive it with care.

I hope no one finds my stash of Red, White and Blue bullets...
...as they are next to the green, grey and purple ones!

Now, how to color code the cases... Rit dye perhaps?

Actually - color coding reloaded cartridges isn't a bad idea. I'll pass it on to a certain unnamed idiot that shall remain my brother when reloading 45-70 for his Marlin as opposed to Dad's trapdoor Springfield.

I have gold coloured aluminium grips for my CZ, and used nail varnish to highlight the text stamped into the gun. I think it looks great

If colored guns manage to get more women and kids shooting and on our side, so be it!

So you've been to Wisconsin? Indeed the older they are, the more vehement the argument. My favorite tractors are the little grey and red ones. But I've used Green/Gold, pale Yellow (older Case, pre I-H) and Red ones, they all seems to work for clearing driveways. (I'm not a farmer, just married a farmer's daughter.)

It appears as though we've rung all the use out of this one we can and we are wander further from the topic at hand. Let's call it a day.
