Nope, Officer Knowshowtoclearit, doesn't need to know that it's a Highpoint or an HK.

But knowing that she doesn't know, she should stick to calling it "a gun" "a pistol" or even "a gat" or "heater".

Generic terms, not specific.

Being ignorant and being specific gets you laughed at around here.

I'd have the same reaction to her referring to her Dodge as a "Police Interceptor" (A Ford trademark).

It's not being pedantic, it's being petty and shallow!

Because I'm a callow, and mean person who's full of hate.

PBBBBBBT!
