Marketing gimmicks don't work BECAUSE people fall for them, they work because the people who will fall for them exist in the FIRST place. Manufacturer's are betting on it.

I'll concede that I did not consider your "dork cousin" in the People's Republik of Kalifornia. He may very well have a reasonable use for such a firearm, given fewer alternatives than the rest of us elsewhere enjoy.

Really though, it doesn't matter what I think about something like this. Or a Monte Carlo with "The Intimidator" appliqued to the trunk, for that matter. I see "boutique tactical" at the range quite often. Those are the guys it's fun to send off to the RO for some "muzzle blast" to clean their barrel with. Guess I'll have to start watching for them at the archery range now, too? I suppose I should just be happy that I can find amusement in the logic behind some of these kinds of purchases? I'd prefer my hunting brothers and sisters not spend their hard-earned money on stuff they don't need, but it IS their money, after all.

Knock yourself out. When you move to Kalifornia, start wearing IBA and plates or hunting turkeys with this thing, I might reconsider.
