Took me a second to even notice the slogan on the shirt in that pic...

Slogan? What slogan?

Oh! Hey guys did y'all see the slogan on that shirt that just popped in the picture?
Hey, she has a gun too!!! Walther or S&W? Looks like a P99 to me.
And if you look close enough, you can see two cute little puppies too.

EDIT: I want to formally apologize to any female members for the above, and inevitable posts to come. What can I say... We're weak.

Gun? What gun?

... and to think, I almost didn't look at this post

So are we going to go the way of AR15 dot com now, with Babe of the Day threads and hot women under the guise of being gun related? The everyone can jump on board with comments about the females body? What are we in High School.

Who will be the first to post what you would do to said model.

Thus far, this has been one of the reason I have enjoyed this place; the avoidence of such.

Whats wrong with that??? If the community wants it, the community can do it. If you find it offensive for some reason, you shouldn't be allowed to mandate your opinion on the rest. You can protest all you want, but you always have the ability to NOT LOOK.

If the ladies of the forum wish to have their own "studfest" then so be it.
I personally won't be visiting it, but my opinion shouldn't sway them away from it.

Sorry, I am a red-blooded, American male. I'm married, but I'm still alive and breathing. I'll try to keep the drool to a minimum when I view a beautiful woman with a gun in the future

I think my "10 year old daughter" would laugh at me, not be offended, but, TXI's got a point though. I do enjoy that this place manages to tread a fine line between not being a fascist oligarchy and a free-for-all.

I think our members can be trusted to keep us in that "good area", and even withstand an occasional lapse. I like seeing beautiful women as much as most men, and I don't think this was TOO bad. Was it?

I'll tell you whats wrong with it. The pic in and of itself was not so bad, but we have already had comments about her breasts, and other other juvenile behavior.

So your opinion that this is fine is acceptable, but MY opinion that it is not is not.

No, I specifically said that I don't want to impose my opinion. You clearly do. Let the community decide! And don't insult them if you don't agree.

Your post count: 268

Txi's post count: 1833

I'm not sure how you define community, but this board has been around for longer than alot of us. Some of those that have been here longer enjoyed it and made it what it is today because of certain values.

I hate that I even suggest it, but I think this would be in violation of a 10 yr old son rule. Heck, daughter too. I wouldn't want my daughter reading this and dressing like that (if I had kids...).

The picture doesn't particularly offend me, but I don't think it has place on this forum.

I'll defer to LT, Jbirds, HV and other friends and mods on this one. I hope this post gets deleted.

I'll admit that I find the subject of the photo attractive. I do like the message of the photo, but feel as if the message is lost due to the photo's contents.

That said, I'll agree with others that I don't want to see this forum turn into AR15.com among others. I can browse this forum without worrying what my kids will see if they come up behind me, which kids will do.

What I was trying to say, but this is better.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the mod forum on this one.

I guess the "community" is speaking.
