Question of the Day: Do You Own Camo? [Video NSFW]

Robert Farago - comments No comments

The Pats fan above is ranting against camo-clad guns in Call of Duty. But c’mon. We’re all style victims one way or another. Gun owners who prefer a “naked” black firearm are still expressing a fashion preference. Personally, I’m not a fan of tacticool camo on anything firearms-related where hunting isn’t involved. [Note to camo-clad OFWGs: you can hide but you can’t run.] If nothing else, I wonder if a camo gun could be a severe disadvantage in a genuine SHTF situation. Scheisse! Where did I put my gun? Still, spill. Do you own any non-hunting camo guns or gear? If so, what?

  1. Rimfire is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Pre-craziness it was so cheap it was a blessing. However who would have thought it would be so hard to find??? And the longer it stays scarce the more people will continue to hoard what they can buy. This cycle won’t be broken for a long, long time.

  2. LOL, that guy is angry… for those TTAG folks who don’t play video games and have no idea what he’s talking about:

    Activision (Call of Duty’s company) recently released a bunch of “weapon camo packs” including a ridiculous bacon camo for 160 Microsoft points per a camo type (base level of points right now is $5 = 400 points). Basically, it’s a micro-transaction for the CoD kiddos to bleed their mommy / daddy’s credit card. And yeah, the tacticool crowd too.

    I guess I’m one of those boring people whose real guns are mostly black, silver, and/or wood. Maybe at some point, I’ll invest getting a favorite gun the Cerakote treatment, but even then, I doubt it’ll be “bacon camo.” HA!

  3. Two weeks ago, I bought a Browning Semi-Auto Takedown 22 (SA22) made in Belgium in 1964 for $399. I am really looking forward to shooting it.

  4. Did anyone else hear that this is from New York and think, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” Please, this guy’s faking the tone of their fake news reports.

    But to the point, I worship no politician. I don’t care what Nixon claimed to be. He wanted to be a tyrant and did as much as he could to act like one. The fact that he got torn down eventually shows both the strengths and weaknesses of our system.

  5. I have a young daughter in the house; camo for me would mean painting my guns pink and/or sporting Hello Kitty on the side. When she moves out I’ll have a dilemma: how do make a gun short, bald and fat? ‘cuz that’s the look I’ll need while at the range.

    Otherwise, no, I don’t like the look of camo, and I don’t own anything in camo. I think I have a blaze orange vest somewhere. That’s about the only nod I have towards hunting. I prefer my guns to be steel and wood, although my 357LCR is the exception.

  6. “its not something he said 15 years after his presidency”… ummm correct. it is something he said after a guard was shock and it was a quick say something hasty comment.

  7. What gets me about these “studies” is that they dishonestly never consider both sides of the equation–they never study the number of defensive gun uses. We all know, that if they did, they would find that defensive gun uses are far, far more common than illegal gun uses. How can any “study” be valid if it only looks at 1/2 of the universe of data?

  8. I predict this is how the gun control battle will pan out in the coming months\years, at the state and local muni level. Not on the national stage.

    I can’t see a CT politician NOT voting in new gun control measures. Could you imagine a Dem not voting in new gun regs and the bloodbath their opponent would have at the next election?

    As someone on here once posted, these state battles are going to make clear dividing lines between those that are pro 2A and those that are not. I just wish we’d see more big name companies (kimber, remington), make the statement of moving states.

  9. At the end of the day, isn’t getting rid of the guns, the people who want to own them, and the people who make them exactly what the anti-gunners want? They are working towards a goal of eliminationg all guns from the world, because they think that this is somehow possible, but also necessary to eliminate crime. Gun manufacturers telling them they are planning to leave the state seems to me to be exactly what these people want.

  10. There is a story in my family that my great-great-great-great-Grandfather was killed by a Henry wielding Yankee.

    I wonder if it is true, but it wouldn’t stop me from owning one of those nice rifles if funds permitted.

  11. I have an Italian made replica. Incredibly fun to shoot. Flipping up the ladder sight and ringing steel at 300 to 400 yards can’t be beat.

  12. Camo pants and shirt for turkeys is about it and with the hat for elk. I wear the camo pants around the house for working out or just being around the house as sweatpants ever since normal sweats went off the market in cotton.

    I also wear camo during SAR training, even though a dog will find you any day of the week. But it is fun to try.

    P.S. That guy is off his rocker.

  13. The algos used to determine ‘risk’ by our overseers have long since crossed over this threshold. Everything that happens online is recorded. Not all readily filtered until UT comes on line in a few months, but it is ALL recorded. This was all sanctioned in Patriot for those who got suckered in by it…

    ‘Target’ can very accurately figure out if your teenager is preggers before even she knows it, simply based on a small sample of buying patterns.

    The white papers from the guys who write this stuff for the gov were out 5+ years ago, but even direct attribution back then gained me ridicule. I’m very familiar with hearing how the gov would ‘never violate the Constitution’ and would ‘never violate our rights’. And how ‘just a couple of lawsuits’ would set them straight.

    How’s that going for us, again?

  14. Another state that seems to object to my tourist dollars, but I am looking forward to $pending in Houston in May.
