That was good......

I've seen a couple of "wrong" ads from Glock lately. Wrong girl, and wrong diner.

Great ads.

Don't know about the one you posted. I don't do Facebook.

 

[dt420]

yes it was, I loved it.

 

[Survivalcookie]

I have no clue on even how to post a picture on here. I can do thing from face book and you tube but only in links.

I'm sorry, what? I was distracted by something for a moment...

I like the idea of the ad but, honestly, if he chose to bust through the door instead of knocking first there is no way she would have made it to that firearm before he got to her... If she did, I would consider her EXTREMELY lucky.

You got a point there.... that is why you need a dog to go along with that gun.

 

[DanVoils]

If you look at the TV she's watching it's a scene from "somebody picked the wrong diner" commercial.

 

[Liberty1911]

I dunno. Making it a comedy kind of diminishes the importance of personal protection.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

That strikes me as a very powerful commerical. A little naive. But if you're in the business of selling guns.....

Interesting

Even if you are in the business of making/selling guns, you have to have a certain level of PC in today's environment. There are several factions. One will be appalled she didn't call 911 and become a victim, one which will be happy she had the gun locked up, and one which wonders why she didn't plug that chump. Just a matter of who's on your fantasy team.

Screen doors are good for more than just keeping the weather out. A good locking screen door (with window as opposed to screen) creates one more barrier between the bad guy and the residents. True, a screen door may not be difficult to force open, but it's sure going to make a lot of noise in the process and hopefully alert the residents that something bad is in progress, hopefully allowing a few more seconds to be prepared.

Annnnnnd then you have guys like me. I think she should have called 911, I think the pistol should have been locked up unless it was where it belonged, on her hip! Further, I don't think she should have been standing there like a great big range target, and after a recent discussion on here, I question the wisdom of her going and getting the gun, then standing there, waiting for him to come in. Not shooting him... well, that one's debatable. He did collapse pretty quickly and I'm not in a position to say how likely that is.

Am I overanalyzing? Possibly. Is it weird that I noticed she had such great trigger discipline that she didn't have her finger on the da*n thing when her sights were on the target? Yeah, probably. The bottom line is that this is intended to sell guns, and it probably will do a great job of that

Blessings,
Bill

Too bad they did not play that during the Super Bowl right after the Anti 2A add! Glock could have made a special version with cheer leaders.

 

[Birds Away]

I watched the video. Nothing about her said "wrong girl" to me.

She had it in a quick open safe under her bed...I had to call 911 a few weeks ago my dog went nuts braking and would not let me out the back door...took almost 15 minutes for the sheriff to get here. There had been someone in my shed. Me someone break in my door I think I would shoot, but thank god never had to worry about it.

 

[PapaScout]

Perhaps she didn't make all of the same decisions that we would and perhaps it's a little cheesy, but if it holds some appeal for "those other people" who have never thought about defending themselves them we may just have a few converts...

 

[HoughMade]

The commercial made it's point pretty well. Sure, we can all spot some things that were wrong like:

- Hey, maybe consider a deadbolt?
- Hollow-core doors are not #1 in security.
- Maybe throw some pants and shoes on if you think the situation is serious enough for a gun (but I applaud the director's artistic choice not to)

...but hey, it's a Glock commercial, not a self-defense how-to.
