What’s a Glock 62?

One of my pet peeves about firearms in movies and TV, is that if you see a character with a gun, at some time during the course of the show, you can be sure it will be fired. There is not a single movie or television program where there is a character that just casually arms up in the normal course of his day, and goes about his life without actually using it.

This is the reality of modern life. There are millions of us who are armed every day in the normal course of our life. I never leave the home without being armed. Don't care where I'm going, or what I'm doing, I'm armed. Yet, somehow, I have never had occasion to pull it out even as a warning, much less actually fire the thing, except at a range.

Yet, the media is so obsessed with violence, that they can never show that. They can never acknowledge that a man just being a normal human being can be armed without coming up with some reason to destroy something or someone. It is sickening, and shows their heart clearer than anything else.

I work p/t for an FFL, and thought there was a model we’d somehow missed. Heh.

>>Researchers also found that gun violence in PG-13 films has more than tripled since 1985; in recent years, it has even exceeded the violence of R-rated films.<<
