That guy actually used to work as a bouncer at the Cowfish Nightclub in Eugene. I don't think he works there, anymore, though.

He does employ a most unusual tactical vest while on the job:

Every time I see this guy, I think of an unshaved, hairy and out of shape Dio (I think it's probably do to the similarities with their hair and hair line).

Orange for a handgun... Just dont like it. I mean, if theres nothing in your world that could ever conflict with it... Then i guess whatever floats yer boat. But for me, orange and blue mean "something other than lethal"

If someone pulled an orange gun on me, I think that my immediate reaction would be that it is probably a toy. That orange colored pistol certainly does look like a toy.

I would probably hesitate shooting someone with an orange gun.

Thus the man with the orange gun confused you just long enough for the gunfight to be in his favor

Orange is a color associated with Safety. As is yellow.

Years ago, when Ronny was our President. I worked in a plant. We used those Stanley razor knives. Number one item people got hurt on. Root Cause -stupidity, but that is not on the OSHA forms.

We went to Yellow and Orange razor knives. Cuts went down, for a while. I liked the brightly colored ones cause I could find them easier.

Of course I also learned about field expediency - never set anything down; always put it back in the holster/pocket/etc.

Maybe the best guy I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

That looks exactly like my Czech Shepherd. He passed away a few years ago. Scary smart was he.

Wish there were a couple more pics from different angles. I bet whoever pulled that trigger had to dig their heart out of their shorts, DAMN!!!.

It would be nice to see it from all angles.

I wonder if he is a member here or if one of the members here know the guy who did it. That little green car in the background is from Kennewick, WA.

If you go to the link and read the comments a little way down the guy explains what be did. It also looks like he plans on fixing it
