My almost four-year-old daughter wants a pink gun. I'm thinking Savage Cub.
I've got a .22 conversion for my AR in part so that she'll be able to shoot it. With the stock collapsed she can already shoulder it, but it's a looong reach with her weak hand out to the forearm.
Anyway, she tells me that the "black gun" is for "big men." I'm so proud.

Agreed. I've been considering painting my BUGs (S&W Scandium j-frame and Kel-Tec P-3AT) either pink or lavender.
My theory is if I'm ever in a situation where I have to pull out a BUG those colors might cause my attacker to do a double-take which might be just enough of a delay to give me the edge.![]()

Wonder how an AR would look with plum colored furniture. Like on some of the AK's.![]()
Thanks Treehopr, I beginning to think that I was the only one who thought painting a live-fire weapon in training weapons colors was a foolish idea.
I agree - it's a boneheaded move to paint a live fire weapon the same color as training weapons or less than lethal - for organizations that have those weapons and color designations.
For a guy with a few rifles, trying to get his kids into shooting, it's likely not a big deal. In fact, I'd wager that many gun owners wouldn't know that there are designated and standardized colors for those weapons.

Whining in a forum that people have seen your thread, but not replied, reeks of an odd brand of desperation. - Me
Titling your thread "To XYZ or Not to XYZ" will cause me to completely ignore your thread.
I would stick with just coloring the furniture. If it's a quality carbine that he will have forever, then he might regret you letting him paint it when he is older. I have a lot of guns that were passed to me when I was a child, and I am very glad that none of them are painted funky colors.
I was the opposite when I was a child. I wanted my toy guns to look like the real ones. But my dad also took me to see movies like Commando and First Blood at the theatre when I was pretty little, so that's what I thought was cool.
Just my opinion.
Laugh at your kid for having a red AR15? Nope. I might however buy his dad a rootbeer (I don't drink alcohol) for just plain being a great dad. We need more men like you helping to raise the next generation of real Americans that have freedom running through their veins. Your children are blessed by God to have you as their dad. Keep up the good work. Sounds to me like Proverbs 22:6 goin' on at your house brother.

What about the potential for causing confusion among other shooters at public ranges?
