Not one of my best images but with all the gun debate on this site I wanted to enter something. This is the weapon I carry on a daily basis.

I am mainly curious to see what the majority on this site things about a person with tattoo's carrying a gun. There will be prettier shots on this topic such as the gun pointed at the camera with a blurry person in the background but was hoping this one would spark some true commenting.

I've purposeless disregarded the rules of photography on this one. Centered the photo instead of using rule of thirds & went for a very tight crop to make the viewer slightly confused.

I recently read a news story where a guy came out of his house yelling at some city workers for making a racket. The workers called the cops stating the guy was threatening them with a gun. Turns out the gun was a tattoo of a gun made to look like it was stuck in his waistband. ROFL! Your comments made me think of it.

I found this one interesting. My eyes lead to the attention sharpness of the tattoo more and wants to know what the rest of that tattoo looks like LOL.. my eyes were not really focused on the gun even though the butt of the gun was in focus. But this is truly what concealed weapons are. I liked how it was tucked away

Ruger LC9 good choice but I think it could have benefited from a deeper DOG

Good concept, but I feel like the tattoo (which is nice) is more in focus than the gun...
