Orange tipped toy guns.... A good idea gone bad.

To further add to the mix, a considerable amount of the criminal element are now painting the tips of their ‘Real Weapons’ with an orange tip. It’s easy to understand their reasoning. Once again, Law Enforcement find themselves in a deeper hole. Ironically, if this criminal who has no criminal record and is allowed to own this weapon in the first place, there is no law preventing him from painting the tip of his real gun orange in the attempt to make it appear as a toy.

You would think that this would be the end. Not so.

We also have several so called law abiding citizens complete with Concealed Carry Permits who are also painting the tips of their weapons orange. The worst offender is an individual named Leonard Embody.

“Finf” = “find”.

Knock off the typos, gunner, or I’ll shut you down.

Color me SHOCKED! (not) My 14 y/o plays airsoft. His favorite gun is the M1A1. The boys play for hours out in the woods. Orange tip or not, if he brandishes it at an inappropriate time or place he’s in BIG TROUBLE with us for being stupid. Just like if we ever see him without goggles he’s in BIG TROUBLE!

Like a previous poster said, toy guns were never a problem because people used them responsibly. Do away with the stupid orange tip requirement and let parents teach our children responsibility. Reactionary policies always backfire.

Yeah, that's not the best of ideas.

I have a Yugo M70 with a wood stock.

The comb on the stock is too high, and it cracks me in the cheek bone every time i fire it. This is a fairly common complaint for the Yugo AKs.

Who that THAT was a good idea?

Put 100 rounds through my M1Carbine today. Thing rattles like crazy, but it gets the job done without jamming.

Yup. That looks pretty AK-47y for a pistol.

Not as useful as the Krinkov, but I would like to have one as a collectible

FReepers,

I'm not well educated on firearms. Is there REALLY such a thing as an AK-47 pistol?

Also, I noticed the so-called author pointed out these people are not breaking any laws, but refers to them as "so called law abiding citizens complete with Concealed Carry Permits". That's some pretty baffling "logic".
