I'll invent names to use when in public places, especially around the college campuses full of idiot anti's. Such as Anna Kournikova to refer to an AK. But otherwise I don't bother.
You mean, yours doesn't?as long as no one here thinks the gun is answering to their name, we'll all be fine.
If I meet my shooting friends at a (crowded Seattle) Starbucks on the way to the range and somebody asks "Watcha bring?" I might say "Ivan" referring to my AK.
Tim the student said:Do you say things like "I think I'm going to go shoot the hell out of Anna Kournikova this weekend, wanna join me and put some lead through her?"
