[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 372253, member: 1061"] Politics removed, I enjoy these types of posts. Where people stand is often directly related to where the grew up/lived. As I mentioned, where I live, [URL="http://wdtn.com/2014/08/14/why-sidney-schools-might-be-the-safest-in-the-country/"]teachers in our schools are armed[/URL]. Here, kids can also take days off school during hunting season to go out and hunt. I can think of several local gun shops. Fish and game type clubs and activities are common (archery, skeet shooting, etc). I could go through the Walmart parking lot right now and probably find 10 trucks with gun racks in the back window. Seeing a HS senior pose with a weapon is no shock to me. Granted, as pro-gun as we are here, our yearbook photos are still just traditional portrait head shots. My wife brought up a good point when I discussed this with her earlier. Yearbooks are for school activities. Unless there is some kind of school-sponsored hunting team, then those photos have no place in the yearbook. I hadn't really thought of it that way, but it's a valid concern. I don't see this even being an issue in New York or Martha's Vineyard. But in Nebraska or Virginia? Sure. Those are very different areas of the country, and while the national media would lead you to believe that we are all Americans of one voice, we are [I]far[/I] from it. [/QUOTE]
