Obviously this thread seems to be degenerating into a discussion/argument about the 2nd amendment. I think we can all agree that an internet thread on a photography forum is not going to change anyone\'s opinion on gun use.
Agreed?
Ok good.
So, the question simply becomes \"Should you take a gun to a wedding?\" I think StarNut has a very good point regarding the bride\'s feelings at a wedding...
What Anti-Gun people need to realize:
There are places and people groups where having guns is not an afterthought, but a part of life. For people who have grown up in this environment, the thought of guns being taboo is hard to understand.
What Pro-Gun people need to realize:
There are people who have never seen or touched a real gun other than on a police officer\'s belt. To them, even the sight of a gun is enough to scare them or at least make them uncomfortable.
Regardless of your personal feelings on this matter, we are in business to serve our clients. If you live in an area where most of your clients and/or their friends/families have and carry guns, then I don\'t think they\'d blink and eye. If you don\'t live in those areas or associate in those circles, it\'s probably a really bad idea.
More than anything, I think StarNut is right, though, that the overwhelming majority of brides would be uncomfortable knowing that there was a gun at their wedding. Regardless of if this feeling is justified or not, their opinion is the one that matters in our chosen profession.
