Yikes! Another winner. Not even a Parker too.

For truth in advertising, check out this line from a description of an LC Smith 20 gauge:

Don't get too excited just yet. This thing is a train wreck. Stock is messed up, barrels are pitted, looks like someone tried to fix the outside, ejectors however, with all the parts, it's just kinda of a parts gun, with possibilities I guess, so the first $450.00 gets it.

Eric, get Richie cracking on that new chapter on this new found Parker history!! I’m sure he could spin a good yarn on the “Parker Coach Gun”.

Hollywood loves the "...shock and awe value of clicking a pump gun...", as well. And exploits it at every opportunity. It does so the extent where, as the miscreant aggressor makes each additional incremental, menacing step forward, the armed defender just works the clashing slide yet again! In movie-land, if it the sound makes for a stand-alone mini-dramatic moment, why limit the sound of chambering yet another round to just once?



When my father was first issued a permit to carry a firearm for defensive purposes, at the conclusion of the interview, he asked the issuing officer how best to stop an aggressor. In a life-threatening situation, should he (mercifully) fire at a shoulder or limb, so as to avoid any loss of life? The police officer quickly stopped that train of thought and just said...."between the eyes".

To further illustrate the "Hollywood/Liberal" mindset, if a Parker had black Ryanite stock and forend it becomes an 'assault weapon' simply because of how it looks... and they would want to take it away from us.
