[Leica] Friday Firearms

[Douglas Barry]

Well Leo, even though I'm not a fan of firearms, the US's bizarre gun 
culture, and am disturbed that so many innocents live with the likelihood 
that some loon with a grudge will open up at random while they are shopping 
or at school, I have to say that is a bang-on image, and really grabbed me.

It has tremendous impact and the conflict - to me in Ireland - of seeing a 
gun being aimed in what appears to be a suburban home by one of the 
"gentler" sex while ordinary life goes on in the background, and, of course, 
the eye of the half faced man just makes this one of the best images on the 
LUG that I have seen.

That back story of medical fundraising makes it even better!

Douglas
