Sue, I hope if you post a picture on the LUG which happens to have a gun in
it will have like Tina's shot some saving grace  some reason to have clicked
the shutter other than there is a gun in the frame.
This is a very weak pointless  grab shot of lady shooting a gun. A gun which
which is aimed just off frame.  There's pretty much nothing in the picture
which warrants clicking the shutter other than there is a gun in it which
will provoke people on a the camera list which you are on especially if you
title the thread  glibly" Friday Firearms". Is there some guy in the
background out of focus somewhere? Didn't notice him.
