I took Barry's original comment of "BTW - REAL shooters don't carry tupperware
;)" to be in response to my saying I had taken off my holster and Glock when I
heard the Atlanta courthouse shooter had been captured. Because Glocks are
part plastic (actually, a high-tech polymer), firearms enthusiasts who prefer
the traditional all-steel weapons sometimes derisively refer to Glocks as
Tupperware. It's nearly always said with a smile and in good humor, and
usually is taken that way. Keeps us from shooting each other unnecessarily.
:-)
Or did I miss something else about Tupperware? If so, excuse the ring. Of
course, I suppose we could apply the Tupperware label in the same humorously
derogatory way to most of today's cameras, too, like the rEvolt, et al.
