commercial

A very cliche commercial from Glock:

I’ve poked fun at their other commercials in the past.  Visually they are always really well put together, but they always have that fake / forced feeling to me.  This one for instance… the “all walks of life” type message was just overbearing.  Yea I get it.. you can be a soccer mom, you can be a cop, you can be a lawyer, you can be a construction worker, you can be Amanda Furrer etc.. etc.. and this gun is perfect for you if you want to conceal carry.  You can read the specs on the G43 in the previous post I did, where it had me feeling some type of way.  Still want, even though I’m none of the video targeted demographics, and feel kind of left out they didn’t include my demographic *insert standard self deprecating humor here :P* in the mix.

Unsurprisingly there is at least one person in the comments yelling about how irresponsible advocating purse carry is.  *shrug* whatever works for you.  Sure there are obvious disadvantages when it comes to access, and easily being disarmed etc.. but it’s probably better than nothing.  It’s still concealed at least, and therefore definitely a wildcard for a scumbag.  Unless some women were to change 100% how they dress, proper on body concealment just isn’t possible without major printing.  Soccer mom purse carry lady in the video for instance… I don’t care how thin that gun is, when you throw a holster around it and stick it in her waistband it’s going to print through those tight pants and tight fitting top.  Sure she could wear a cover garment, but it looks hot there so she probably wouldn’t be comfortable in it.  I don’t think it’s bad that Glock shows purse carry in the video.  People are free to make their own decisions, hopefully which they evaluated the pros and cons of themselves.

Thoughts?
