Levi Johnson, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, plans to name his new daughter after a gun.
Jonson, 21, will call his second child Breeze Beretta Johnson. Her middle name is inspired by the Italian firearms manufacturer Beretta.
He and his new girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby, are expecting after Sunny forgot to bring her birth control during a weekend escape to a hunting cabin.

Really?
The football world knows a fellow named Colt McCoy who played QB at Texas and is now with the Browns.
I can see it on the marquee... "She'll blow you away!"
Is it b/c Hillary’s long standing namesake Sir Edmund was a Kiwi?
T thought he would name him, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho Johnson.
ROFL!
The .40 S&W is essentially a reduced power 10mm. It was invented because some folks (at the FBI, IIRC) couldn't handle the full power 10mm.
In the early 1990s, we called it the .40 Short & Wimpy.
[FWIW< I don't know who half these people are]
I know a kid named Colt Wesson Smith.

Lived next door to a guy in college whose parents apparently favored more manual weaponry: Lance Spear.
OK, I think his last name was spelled Speer.
LOL.
“In the early 1990s, we called it the .40 Short & Wimpy.”
Thus displaying your ignorance for all to see. Look at the kinetic energy available in most .40 rounds and you’ll see that on average they have more energy than most .45 rounds. There are a few +P rounds for .45 now that have more energy than the .40 but not many. The 10mm is overkill in a police application. The .40 also allowed the manufacturers to make a more potent pistol with high magazine capacity on 9mm frames. But hey, you keep believing that .45 is a death ray.
My neighbor named his son Remington.
LOL...aficionados of pop culture are compiling a list [elsewhere]....I pray there is no goal for *1911*.....
Hurricane Armalite
Sirocco Remington.
Cyclone Savage.

Flurry Kalashnikov.
Monsoon Mauser.
Bob Johnson.
Haboob Bushmaster.
Noreaster Springfield Armory.
Brown bess.
Well, that’s better than calling her Glock.
Yes, that's what you're doing.
Compare the .40S&W to the 10mm Auto from which it was derived, and you'll see why we used to call it that. It was a joke. Laugh.
Maybe you just had to have been there ...
Or Sig.
Squib?
I think “SIG” stands for “Swiss Industrial Corporation” (Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft), but also “Lord” in Italian. So its a great name.
Oh, for the lack of a smiley. I’ll give you Short and Weak is apt if the comparison is to a 10mm. Many people though don’t understand the comparison and think it applies to 9 mm and .45 ACP also. The .40 is probably the best self defense cartridge out there right now. Most police departments seem to agree. It offers pretty much everything the .45 does plus greater magazine capacity. Not that I would mind carrying a nice .45 if I had to. I do feel better with 14 or 16 rounds of .40 (have G22 and G23) knowing I might have to face multiple assailants.
Hehe...did you see my post number 11?
