(23,933 posts)between yours and my initial comment, to which you replied, you'll see a lot more information.
I would actually understand posing with a gun in the circumstances you describe. There is no competition involved in this situation, no official anything as it concerns firearms and this young lady.
I'm not necessarily concerned about firearm-related crime. My point in posting was to see if others had heard of this as a recent trend, as I was told it was, and also expressing my confusion as to what she is trying to express with incorporating a Glock into her poses for a senior pic.
Again, she has not expressed any interest in competition or approaching using firearms from a sports-related perspective.
As I also said above, I would understand if she had chosen to pose with a hunting rifle and wore hunting gear.
To my knowledge, people don't hunt animals with a Glock.
Thanks again for the thoughtful reply.
