What are Perceived Carry Decoys? We're glad you asked! Perceived Carry Decoys is a veteran owned entity that offers the worlds first and only way to exercise your 2nd amendment right, without the stigma or concerns associated with owning a gun.

PCD understands that not everyone is comfortable with owning an actual firearm. But why should those feelings affect your personal safety?
Now they no longer have to. With the launch of Perceived Carry Decoys, you may now give off the appearance that you are toting serious heat, while in actuality you have nothing more than a one piece device attached to your hip that is as harmless as a cell phone.

You no longer have to worry about young children finding a loaded weapon. This all-in-one piece construction does not come apart. At a fraction of the price of a real firearm, you too may enjoy the benefits of carrying a weapon, without having to shell out hundreds(sometimes $1000's) of dollars for something that statistics show probably will not and/or should not be used.

A PCD device is meant to be a means of crime deterrent, rather than a means of self defense. After all, who's going to run up on a person with a gun?

While these are not actual firearms, their extreme resemblance to real guns tucked neatly in a holster may be enough to give you the jump on anyone who may wish to do you or your family harm.

The whole purpose of open carry is to give off the "don't mess with me" persona. The whole purpose of Perceived Carry Decoys is to give off the appearance that you too are ready for anyone, anywhere.

Amazingly, it manages to go even farther downhill from there.

Now I'm not opposed to an ex-Marine making a buck to supplement the lack of a pension because he only served one tour. At least he does not come right out and call himself an "operator".

Sadly, there are folks out there that will buy into this, once they find out about it. A good number of them will probably be those that should not have guns in the first place - not real ones, not airsoft ones, not squirt guns, and not these ... these ... these "contraptions".

Einstein was right (even if he never said it): "There are only two things infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the first one."

I looked and looked but could not find a facepalm big enough for this.

stay safe.

Too smarmy not to be satire. If it's real, well... dayum.

No, it's real.

He's also a dyed-in-the-wool CSGV acolyte.  Go there if you dare to see what folks are saying.

But be sure to be run through decontamination on your way back.

So "they'll" gitcha for "terrorizing" (making anyone feel uncomfortable) instead of packing a real one illegally.

Or maybe just disturbing the peace.

Or malicious mopery.

Somethin'.

I refuse to go to the site for fear that it might kick off the asskicking tour a bit prematurely.

But they need to package deal this with a CCW badge and one of those ccw sashes in a pouch...

I had to Google "CSGV"," and, yes, decontamination is in order.

It's a dumb idea on so many levels that I don't know where to start. One that comes to mind immediately is the same reason I don't consider open carry for myself in urban areas: if I'm in a Stop n' Rob, and a bad guy sees my gun, I'm likely to be his first victim. With this "decoy" that is apparently meant to print, there's a distinct possibility that a person carrying one when a robbery is going down could also be the first target.

I love the home page art. Very perfeshinal.

A review page, with the expected comments.

And everybody uses social media these days.

I am not really sure where to start on this. He (?) uses OC arguments yet twists them around a bit. I am not at all sure this isn't an anti-gunner type of marketing. You look like you carry a gun, but it isn't really a gun so the chance of harming someone with it is pretty much nil. I guess you could semi-bludgeon someone with it.

Strange product, very strange.

Well, that moron needs to work on securing law enforcement sales.

There should be a huge drop in all of these 'bad shoots,' as the criminals will run with fear.

Is it April 1st? What happened, I thought today was Christmas?

Increased level of protection associated with open carry

But, but, but ... I thought it was a given that if we open carry the bad guys will shoot us on sight.

The Tactical model is still in R&D.

It also appears that our heroic Marine veteran has mastered time travel. On the Facebook page, there's a "product reports from the field" comment dated December 19. On December 20, our hero posted "Update!" First live prototype! Pre order yours today!"

(It would appear that he's running a Christmas discount sale on exclamation points.)

We are often accused of carrying because we are afraid of something, but I think if I were carrying such a thing, I would have reason to be fearful. Could they possibly be hoping that someone gets shot?

[seeker_two]

That Crap is going to get someone killed.....and him sued out of business....

.....and I'm OK with that.

If you carry one of these things shouldn't you have a fake CCW badge to go along with it?

Hmm.  In the world I inhabit, there are things to be afraid of.

It's the most logical response.

This thread has not only gone sideways it has plowed right through a crowd of common sense and smashed up an entire sanity store.

I'm stealing that.  There are so many places where it would fit.

I think we've found the author of that web page. 

[cambeul41]

But how much time and energy do you spend stewing about it?

[HankB]

Sounds like another bad idea - sort of like giving fake guns to "armed" security guards. (That was popular back in the '70s.)
