We also had target practice. <BR/><BR/>The choice of a woman's hand was 2 fold. One was color. The other was that I wanted more of a severe juxtaposition between the male pistol/pestle and the female hand.Joseph Barbacciahttp://www.paradisestudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951361.post-76421336825229298842009-03-30T12:50:00.000-04:002009-03-30T12:50:00.000-04:00I admire a woman that can handle a large caliber r...I admire a woman that can handle a large caliber revolver.<BR/><BR/>However, too many male firearms dealers habitually recommend to their female customers that they purchase a revolver, rather than a semi-automatic weapon. The thought being among some men that women who are inexperienced with firearms on average have a more difficult time operating a more complex semi-automatic handgun as opposed to a revolver.<BR/><BR/>Of course, any man, or woman, that has served in the military knows what bunk that line of thought is.<BR/><BR/>Joseph's pictured piece is terrific. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious if he has any thoughts to offer concerning his choice to depict a woman's hand blended into a revolver, as opposed to a semi-automatic handgun.<BR/><BR/>Also, did Joseph create this piece before or after the recent murder/assault in the Lansdowne community in Loudoun County? I ask because I believe Jospeh lives in Loudoun County. I'm hearing from some of my NRA friends/gun dealers in Loudoun County that there has been a dramatic increase in firearms sales to women since these crimes were committed last week. Most of these women are reportedly buying revolvers.The Right Reverend James W. Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13689006665265399331noreply@blogger.com
