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!
