On July 12, 2020, socialite Vera Sidika posted a photo of a gun next to her stylish designer handbags, sending a clear message to her haters to stay away.
The post, which was made from Mombasa, where Vera is currently based, has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many questioning the need for a celebrity to flaunt a gun.
A gun enthusiast, speaking to Mpasho, noted that the gun in question is an old model Glock, which is favored by men.
"That's a man's piece she must have been flashing it. It is definitely not her piece," the enthusiast said.
He also pointed out that the gun was empty, with no magazine in place.
The Glock G26 Semi-Auto Pistol, which resembles the gun Vera posted, is described on the website www.basepro.com as "a favored sidearm for law enforcement, military, and civilian use all over the world."
According to the website, the Glock 26 Gen4 Semi-Auto Pistol is an ultra-reliable handgun that is easy to learn how to operate and maintain, making it an ideal choice for self-defense.
