Firearm EDC among Becker Users

Reading into it, and the pic is an honest mistake, no offense should be taken to Blues for it. I can understand the desire to want the image removed, and if Blues chooses to remove it, stifa, please edit your quote to erase the pic as well.

Stifa, I dont know Blues personally, but we agree on many things pertaining to Liberty and I am positive that this was an honest mistake. I can also understand how you are tremendously offended by it, I may not be here today if my great grandmother's family had not been fortunate enough to have enough money to send her and her brother from Hungary to America for safety. I hope Blues sees this soon and understands why you are offended. Sorry brother.

Because even tho Blues meant nothing by it, someone is offended. Simple enough. Even as loosely related as this image is, it still resembles something that is a huge scar on the past of stifa's culture. As I stated above, it is also a small part of my family's past, so I can understand. Please try to employ some empathy. If it offends someone, then it should be removed, no worries.

I understand your point, but it's not that simple, you really had to look for it to make the connection. I'll bet most people never made the connection until the point was made, I certainly didn't. If we are to remove/ban/censor everything that could possibly be interpreted as offensive to everyone, it would never end. Would I need to change my userid, because someone interpreted it as something else. As Sigmund Freud said, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
We really should stop going out of our way to feel insulted.

Back on subject, before these posts get sent to the trash bin.:eek:

You are correct by saying that everything can be offensive to some. Swastikas where part of human culture way before nazism . Once they where connected together, there is no going back . Creating a swastika from guns, even by mistake , is something that should be considered before, not after posting it on the internet. Personally speaking, I have the right to feel insulted .If you would like to know why , I will explain via private messages .

I really doubt that blues intended to create a swastika with his guns. I've personally laid out my guns like that for pictures before, never noticing the similarity and I would consider myself pretty aware/suspicious of neo-nazis now since I found out someone I was friends with for years was a closet neo-nazi. On a forum where a member posts a knife sticking out of his ass crack it seems kind of absurd to get so upset over something so small. Simply asking him nicely to remove it in a PM would probably have been a lot more effective than demanding its immediate removal publicly.

Anyways, my always gun is a Sig P238, I love that thing, great tritium night sights and it just disappears in my front pocket.

In the winter/fall or when I'm out in the woods I like to carry my XD45 compact.
 
Sweet thread until it got all political. I was thinking about getting a conceal and carry permit and was contemplating Glock 19 or 23

You have the "right" to feel insulted about something I never intended, or even considered, could conceivably be insulting to any rational human being on Planet Earth? It's a picture of my handguns, period. One of 'em I mentioned earlier in the thread and it came in yesterday. That equaled four handguns that I had, so I laid 'em out in the most symmetrical way I could envision and snapped a pic, period. I didn't "create a swastika" by mistake or otherwise, I just took a picture of my guns, your insipid, politically-correct, completely out of line, blithering idiot blather notwithstanding.

If you're insinuating that I'm a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer, you and your "culture" can kiss my rosy red a$$. The picture stays. Deal with it.

The obvious answer is to buy another gun, and reshoot the pinwheel with 5 arms instead of 4. That way, everyone's happy. :D
 
Well, no use letting an otherwise great picture thread go to waste. Since at least one BR was pictured and commented on positively, here's mine. I'll not name it and see if anyone can identify it:

POF? Piece Of ______ what exactly? LOL Not sure what that is, but it ain't what I got. Yeah, I got a side shot, but didn't post it because it would make it easy. Actually though, I don't think it's the receiver that will give it away. In this older pic, some may recognize a piece that wasn't shown in the first two pics:
