Seeeu911 - now that is cool. Pointing a gun at a camera however is not - isn't it considered a bit tasteless given recent events? Would be here in Europe, and surprised Americans don't think the same...

What recent events you are refering to? I don't follow your logic, please explain?

??? I am pointing the gun into the mirror, so really I am pointing the gun at myself.

Trust me, you are out of range!

What does that have to do with a picture of a gun? Should no one picture a car in their avatar because of all the car deaths that occur? How about a bottle of wine in an avatar? Seems innocent enough until you read about another drunk driving death.

Unless Judd happened to shoot the 2 in Colorado today, I don't see the problem.

ps - Why do people have to drag OT topics into the car forums? If you don't like guns discuss it there.

Mine is because I like Porsches. OT man invented hand guns for one thing and one thing only and that’s to kill his fellow man.

sorry this got so OT.

For the record I was in KY all day.

Just don't blame objects for the crimes criminals commit.

Everyone can have an opinion, many people I know started out with you opinion. My wife, a friend from Belgium, France, England, and lots of HS friends. They all now enjoy shooting because I introduced it to them.

My wife packs a handgun now! we look like a couple thugs right?

This is so getting sent to OT

I think we would all be happier if you had a pic of your wife rather than yourself in your avatar

So much for people that like to scuba and put dive shots, or fly and put airplane shots, or ski and put ski shots, etc in their avatar.

I guess they need to go to divelist, flylist, or skilist huh?

It's not my avatar, but IMHO "charged" topics (guns, religion, politics, abortion, etc) belong in OT.

Just my 2 cts.
