Here ya all go... deck the halls with revolvers! :confused0062[1]:
I don't mean to be a fence sitter on this one, but I believe this is strictly an individual's choice with how one wishes to decorate their tree. Myself, I'd not sport the pistol packin' ornament on the tree if I were in a family way. If it were in a war zone, I'd hang all sorts of 'blasters' in the ole bunker. If young and single, I'm sure it would seem like a different and cool idea to hang these on the tree.
So what do you think gun packin' DWers. Good ...bad... right... wrong???

Nothing says Christmas quite like a glittery black handgun hanging from the tree.
Urban Outfitters Inc. - no stranger to controversial products - is offering the 5-inch-long, Chinese-made gun ornament for $6 in its stores and catalogs this year.
"Bust a cap in your tree with this superglittery ornament in the shape of a handgun, complete with a satin ribbon for hanging," the online description of the revolver says. It is meant, the retailer says, as an "ironic twist" on the holidays.
"Twisted" is more like it, said Kate Philips, Gov. Rendell's spokeswoman. "The governor doesn't find it humorous or clever to display weapons that are responsible for taking hundreds of lives each year as if they are decorations," she said.
