Kyle,

You can take my picture with my 1911 A1 .45 (photo previously posted 
here -- see link below).  This is the photo that got me censured on 
Chronocentric.com as apparently photos containing guns are verboten.  I 
could also borrow my son's AR-15 or AK-47 if you want a little more 
spice in the shot.  I  might even be able to borrow a pickup with a gun 
rack from one of my neighbors.
