He's got a better answer to give. Orange is highly visible to humans but hard for deer to see. Obviously he uses a shorter magazine in the fall and he uses this weapon for hunting -- so he painted the tip orange for added safety!

Quote from: kwikrnu on August 02, 2012, 11:34:05 AMWhy would orange paint attract any attention? Orange is not an illegal color. If the firearm was a toy there was nothing illegal done. If the handgun was real I presented a handgun carry permit. So, why does the orange color matter? The answer is it does not. The rangers did not like the fact that I could legally bear an ak-47 pistol in the park. That is why I was stopped and harrassed for 2.5 hours. The other issues of color and camo are inventions by the defense after the lawsuit was filed to excuse their behavior.No the camo and orange and your behavior were inventions BEFORE YOU LEFT YOUR TRAILER on your way to the park.Opps. Sorry. Didn't mean to insult residents of Chatue de'Estates.

On the off chance someone notices, bonus -- they see a reasonably well dressed respectable looking gentlemen with a *handgun*. Yay for good guys.I don't open carry for the purpose of getting attention. My parents loved me growing up...they are still married to each other today (over 50 years).What is your point? WHAT'S HIS POINT?!?!?You're an attention whore that did what you did for attention and nothing more. It is blatantly obvious. There is NO other logical explanation for doing what you did. NONE!!! NADDA!!! ZIP!!!Don't you have banjo practicing to do???

Custom colored firearms should be illegal to carry?
Quote from: kwikrnu on August 02, 2012, 11:42:11 AMAgain, I was DETAINED AGAINST MY WILL. At no time during the 2.5 hours was I free to leave. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? I WAS NOT FREE TO LEAVE AT ANY POINT DURING THE 2.5 HOURS. I WAS HELD AGAINST MY WILL FOR 2.5 HOURS.BULLSHIT!!! You were presented with a citation that you refused to sign. That would have ended the encounter. You chose instead to have a supervisor respond. You were told that would take a while. You consented. Therein lies the reason for the "detention" and you could have accepted the citation and left. But NOOOO that wasn't the purpose of your escapade.
Again, I was DETAINED AGAINST MY WILL. At no time during the 2.5 hours was I free to leave. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? I WAS NOT FREE TO LEAVE AT ANY POINT DURING THE 2.5 HOURS. I WAS HELD AGAINST MY WILL FOR 2.5 HOURS.

I was trying to give you a better answer than "because I can" *shrugs*.

How did I, "get what I wanted"?
I've been reading this from the beginning and I have only one question I don't think has been answered. I don't want to get into the Pro/Con issues. The question I have is why did you choose to paint the weapon? Orange tip that is.

But you're not getting the attention you want there anymore.
Perhaps he was going to dye his hair orange, next....
