Movie Gun Question

[BearBrimstone]

I can honestly say that this has never even occurred to me to do

Same here. Watching certain movies or television series has made me want to buy certain guns before though. For instance, every time I watch Finding Bigfoot I get the urge to buy a 500 Magnum just in case.

I was going to see Straight Out of Compton" and tried to get a 44mag, 10MM, and 380 in my pants with a 12 Ga shotgun. I kind of rattled when I walked - it didn't work and cut down my 100 yard running time severely. I watched TV with a beer.

I used to, then it got a bit expensive once I had to buy a USAS-12 to watch "On Deadly Ground" with Steve Seagull and a High Standard 10B to watch "Shaft" with Richard Roundtree.

Cant say I've ever picked my carry gun based off what I was watching. Hell, nowadays im more paranoid going out to the movies than just about anywhere else lol.

But, I have bought plenty of guns just because I saw them in a movie. My favorite was my full size USP 45 I bought about a week after I saw the movie "Collateral"(2004) with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx

I should think a 1911 - or two - would come out for Last Man Standing

I forgot about this one. I have always thought of this as one of the best "1911" movies. It makes me want a double shoulder holster for my 1927 Argentine .45 and my Argentine Service Model Ace.

Whoever decided to show Bruce Willis cleaning and loading a few dozen magazines before the big fight was two things...a gun nut and a genius. That scene is just awesome.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

Naw, the same 1911 is usually on my side, no matter what.

 

[JohnBiltz]

That is the strangest thing I've ever heard of.

I feel the need to fondle my flame thrower and Bazooka when I watch Rosie O'Donnell movies.

I never really thought about it . I was watching 1st Dirty harry other night while cleaned my 29 .

Going to movies its a Colt Defender IWB no matter what on screen.

 

[TarDevil]

My carry guns get no respect at the movies!

 

[susieqz]

dry firing my single 10 while watching cowboy movies is fun.
or just cleaning it.

more, when i shoot in the yard, i come in after 40 rounds, reload, have a cuppa n watch a cowboy movie with lots of gunfire.

Accidental Shooting in movie

Sadly, a Seattle man with a valid CC license was drunk and fooling around with his weapon in the movie theater and shot the woman in front of him in her shoulder!!!!

He said he wanted protection from mass shooting in movies

Idiot ran from the movie, discarded the mag and dropped the weapon in his driveway. He was captured and sits in jail at this moment. Woman released from hospital, will recover. (story per newspaper)

What you are about to read is true:

We were doing some outside remodeling on a cousin's house when we saw a strange sight - a Sheriff car on our gravel road, followed by a blacked-out SUV, followed by another Sheriff's car. Driving slowly. They stopped in the middle of the road at the top of the hill. Right at the old (anti-Obama) neighbor's farm house. The cars' occupants got out and went into the house. About an hour later, they came back out, got into their cars, and turned around. The deputies continued on past us, but the SUV stopped. Out stepped a Secret Service agent! He asked us if we knew the old guy and if we thought that he was a threat to the President. Did what??? YGBSM!!! Well, the old guy had sent an e-mail to the White House saying that he likes to dry fire his pistol at the President's image when he's watching CNN.

Now that, folks, is a die-hard gun/TV fan.

 

[Gun Master]

And my cap pistol when I watch Roy Rogers re-runs on TV.
It might scare somebody to death.

 

[righteoushoot]

That's why I look forward to every Christmas when A Christmas Story is on all day!

You mean like carrying a 1903 Colt to Public Enemy and Sheriffs' Vaquero to True Grit?

 

[herrwalther]

My favorite carry firearm was used in a movie. But I already decided on it before seeing it on the big screen. Walther P99 became Bond's weapon of choice in Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997.
