A pictue of my younger brother showing off his first firearm. Photo taken by my youngest brother. Finger on the trigger? Can't really tell. Is the weapon loaded? I hope not.

Kodak disposable, Ansco 35mm disk, Polaroid my parents gave me. That's about all I need really.

There's something very frightening about this photo, especially if you look at it closer.

Good and ballsy picture, though.

I think my brothers are a couple of idiots.

I think of the times when I was under 10 that I use to let my brother shoot a cup off the top of my head with a BB gun at 50 feet. Thank God he never missed the cup!
A LOT of gun forums won't even let you post a photo like this, no matter how well you describe the setup and even use a remote to trigger the shutter.
Would have really been a great shot using an old large bore Colt Single Action Army revolver.

nitrox, don't get me wrong. I love guns, I also like to pose with replicas, but pointing a potentially live gun at a camera is a no-no. It tends to stir up a lot of negative emotion and controversy in people.

Interesting to observe how an image can stir things up!

BTW, my sisters think I'm an idiot and I don't even own a gun!  :p
