Sometimes WTF fits.....

According to their page, this fits here because "Perception is Reality" mindset....

I'm just at a loss to try to explain their thinking.  :what:

Maybe an early April Fools ?

I think the idea is great. Many people can't afford real guns. It would be a fun experiment carrying this in places like New York City: "Do you have a permit for that gun?" "What gun?"

Wow.  is this some kind of weird social IQ test?  I don't get it either.  It would point out some of the hypocrisy in current carry laws.  I think it's great, keeps the bad guys guessing - but could cause some unintended consequences.  perception may be reality - In my opinion a person using this tactic would place themselves in a 'pre-escalated' situation.   Who brought the toy to a gun fight?

When I lived in the police state of New Jersey I worked till midnight, I would eat dinner then go for a 2 mile walk. One night I could see I was going to be mugged so I partially unzipped my jacket and put my right fist into the left side making like I had a gun. The mugger crossed to the other side of  street. I was lucky he belived my bluff. This kind of bluff can get you killed. The next time I do this I won't be bluffing.

First, if you are concealed carrying then no one should know that you have a gun....that is the concealed part. Granted I know that some of us have gotten proficient at recognizing someone who is carrying, but definitely not the general public. The only time another person (perpetrator) should find out that you have a gun is if you need to use it. At that point "perception" is a loud violent affair.  If you get to that point and all you have is a decoy.....enough said.  A gun is not carried to be brandished or shown to scare off a bad guy, it is carried as a final resort to protect lives. Brandishing is illegal in most states, even if it is a toy. If the person you are brandishing at believes it is real  that is generally enough to get you into hot water.  God forbid if you showed that toy and that is what escalated the situation into a gunfight. If you carry one of these toys you are nothing but a Dumb Ass. 

Good on JoJo that his bluff tactic worked, but to paraphrase him, he would not rely on it a second time.

CJS  :thumbsUp: NOBODY knows I carry unless I am in town locally and it is as hot as Hell out. Even then I carry 99.8% of the time CCing. Again nobody knows I am CCing. I like the element of surprise  ;)
