In this week’s show, Carrie Lightfoot and Barbara Baird talk about some famous gun logos and the reasons behind their designs. Carrie chats with the “Fan of the Month,” Patti, from Texas and the women also talk about trending news (women’s buying power and a time traveler in Boston), cool products and shooting events. Sponsored by Ruger.
Ruger: Did you know that Alexander Sturm died at age 20? Barb mentions the earrings and necklace for logo wear. Check them out here.
Beretta: The will to get things done.
Smith & Wesson: From plain to flourished.
Gunsite: We love the raven icon and can you believe that Carrie has not watched “The Vikings” yet?
Browning: Oh yeah, the buck mark rules the logo world! Have you seen a tattoo with this famous icon, and has it been pointed in the correct direction?

Barb wonders why police in Baltimore felt compelled in the first place to post this gun – the result of an arrest – on social media, leading comments about the felon and whether he was a time traveler. The gun? Looks like a Derringer with duck tape:
