So I'm at the range this pass Saturday on the 18th (first day of the fair).. My wife wants her AR15 pink.. So I paint the muzzle brake pink and spray a cherry blossom on the mag of the Sig516.. My wife is shooting her Sig at a rifle table..
The guy that's running the "Hunting Pistols" table is right next to us.. He comes over and tells me "You cannot make da muzzle brake orange like dat.." As I tell him that it's not orange and that it's pink for her.. He says "You can get arrested for makin'um look like one airsoft gun.." :-[
I don't wanna be in the wrong so i need some feed back...
ps: I wanna leave it pink but don't wanna get "Arrested" :-\

Man I swear Kokohead is going to give me a damn heart attack with all their FUD.
I have not seen anything that would prevent you from painting your real gun any color that you want. I don't think anything passed this legislative session saying the guns couldn't be colored this way, nor do I think there is anything on the books that says you can't do that (not in the HRS or ROH). Hicarry might have seen or know something I don't.
There are rules that say you can't paint your airsof gun... but I have not seen the reverse. You can order powder coated guns, or paint AK's from the dealers.
I'm calling FUD -- but please double check.

Under 15 U.S.C. 76, "imitation guns" are supposed to have blaze orange tips, but there's nothing as of yet (on the Fed level) regarding real firearms. IIRC, CA and NY had laws in the works making it a felony to paint muzzles certain colors, but I'm not sure if they went anywhere.
Basically "the guy" (as with most know it all's hanging around KHSC), doesn't know crap about the law. You're free to paint your firearm whatever color you want without fear of arrest. Personally, I'd avoid blaze orange for obvious reasons, but to each their own.

Tell the truth bananaclip.
That aint your wife's gun.
That pretty pink rifle is your pride and joy. :rofl:

I think it would be nice if you did up the whole rifle, in that color, for her.

CA Did get away with a law that all airsoft guns must be completely colored, not sure how this will affect real firearms. I really hate FUD -- it needs to get stomped in the ground. Next time tell him to stop breaking the law shooting a pistol outside of hunting game mammals!

Yet another instance of a guy who doesn't know the law. Typical of KKHSC. Are you suprised? ??? Next time remind him that it is a flash hider and not a muzzle brake, so I you are in the clear.
BTW, nice quoted text...I can almost visualize which retard said this to you...

I also can't think of any laws that would prevent you from painting a gun any way you want, even if you wanted to paint it orange (not recommended).
Off topic, but this kind of reminds me of the guy in another state that was open carrying an AK with the tip painted orange (http://lonelymachines.org/2009/12/27/is-this-where-its-going/) (which was legal).

The guys name is Leonard Embody. He is also into pushing rights to the extreme. He also has his wife carry an AK painted up Hello Kitty style.
There is nothing against the laws with painting your firearm. This is typical "I am going to get into your business because I think I know what is right/wrong" type behavior that we often see at KKHSC.

Thank you all for your feed back and support.. I actually have a picture of the guy and his beloved pistols but didnt wanna get inmature and post it up.......unless I get enough responses to put it up....

I understand that many of us are tired of trying to explain "the rules" to all of those misinformed folks out there. But, I am going to suggest an alternate motivation for "the pistol guy." Since he is obviously a "gun guy" maybe he truly thought there was a problem in the color scheme of your gun and maybe he was truly trying to help another "gun guy" by mentioning it to you.
Since it is unclear from your initial post what his attitude was, maybe he was being an asshat and wasn't just trying to help. I don't know....but, maybe we should try to educate him so he can be better informed and help us advocate for more unity and cohesiveness among the gun groups out there. After all, we all seem to be fighting for the same thing.....

Many different personalities out there, and alot of infighting. If we could all get on the same page...

Yeah HiCarry your right.. He was just trying to give me the heads up on what he assumed was the correct advice... As much as he was concerned, I got concerned not knowing the exact law on the "Painting the muzzle brake a bright pink color thing.." I'm sure he meant well... I'm sure when I brought out my "Jihad" looking AK and "Skull" painted Silver underfolder AK, he gave up trying to "Correct" me...
I'd like to say :worship: "Sorry Mr. Hunting Pistol Guy"..
Yours Truly, BananaClip :love:
