A Christmas picture I e-mailed to everyone in my law firm caused a bit of a stir ...

[PcolaDawg]

today.

I take a picture of the kids around the tree every year and e-mail it to my co-workers and employees as a cheap way to get out of sending a Christmas card.

Anyway, this year the kids each got a Ruger SR9 for Christmas (yeah, I let 'em have them early) and they snuck them into the annual Christmas photo.

Wasn't sure the folks at work would catch that, but they're more observant than I thought they were. Oops.

Here's the pic ....

So what was this stir? We need specifics!

 

[PcolaDawg]

Well, some thought they were just toy guns. Others, who knew me, were convinced they were real. Others, who know my kids, thought I was insane.

Anyway, that's about it - so far.

I'm more concerned about the hat on the dog...

I'm calling PETA!

Merry Christmas!

Go Dawgs!

Its blocked for me can you post it differently or provide a link or attachment?

 

[JackOfAllTradesMasterAtNone]

At least they're all RUGER! Fortunate sons you have there.

I have a couple of my best Bullseye targets posted on my office wall. (Public learning institution) No one has asked me to take them down yet. Some great discussions have started from them. Some not so great.

The kid in the center has his finger inside the trigger guard. That is the "stir" I would have caused. He's got the dog by the neck and his finger on a trigger. Is fido being put down?

 

[Ky Larry]

That's a fine looking group of young men. Your coworkers are probably just jealous because they have ugly kids.

 

[sherman123]

Some just don't get it and the worst part is they probably never will.

Is the dog a whippet? I can't tell because of the hat...

The dog is a retired racing Greyhound that we've adopted. Second one we've owned. Very sweet dogs, and they love humans.

Ok now that's a Christmas present to remember. Nice

 

[sturmgewehr667]

can i come to your house for christmas?

 

[Kind of Blued]

You need to tell the one in the middle that Santa won't bring him anything next year unless he keeps his finger off the trigger.

Other than that, cool!

Ditto... thats the only thing that would "stir" me up. Lucky kids.. nice guns.

 

[atblis]

Oh

That poor dog looks like it's starving. You need to feed it more. That's probably what they were upset about.

 

[ShadyScott999]

It's an AMERICAN thing. They wouldn't understand.

 

[hankdatank1362]

Your middle son looks EXACTLY like a dear friend of mine, who passed away about 4 years ago. Pretty scary.

But awesome presents! Way to go!

And give that poor dog a Milkbone!

SEALE (and others) - "The kid in the center has his finger inside the trigger guard. "

I disagree. I've looked at that picture several times and it appears to me that the young man has his left index (trigger) finger just above the trigger guard and a hair or two below the bottom of the slide.

What??? Your coworkers don't celebrate Christmas? I went to school with a kid like that...wouldn't do the pledge of allegiance either.

 

[jpatterson]

Want to adopt me?

 

[Vicious-Peanut]

You people must have missed the fact that the dog is a greyhound. I have a half whippet and you can leave pounds of food out 24/7 and they stop eating when they're full. The vet will tell you that dog is right where it should be.

Nice card.

 

[crazy-mp]

Was the stir because you were not using LED lights on the tree or was it because there were LEAD bullets in the guns?

I know it was corney but, eh...

 

[RoboDuck]

I can see why some would be upset. You should have bought them all Glocks.
