Effective Posters?

I thought I would try making posters during Labor Day weekend, and this is what I came up with...please click on images for full size.

Hoo-Yah, Marine ~

That's a neat idea.

The two photographs are effective and convey a serious message.

I once attended a Navy Photo INTEL school while in the service; allow me to bring up a few points-of-interest here for your edification.

Due to the fact that you're a big fella' and you present a formidable presence, consider having your camera-man move back a bit and include a violent, blood-thirsty 'bad-guy' in the picture. It may not be easy to do but if you could give the public a graphic example of why it's important that free man retain their arms for means of lawful self-defense it could feasibly help many fellow citizens to "wake up" and get smart.

Your idea of distributing posters may serve as an effective reminder to others of our God-given, inalienable right to self-preservation. I wish you well in your ventures, Marine.

Thanks kindly for your service to our country. <Hand Salute>

Thank you, Billy. I have learned a few things since posting these. The Violence Of Action shot is a little ambiguous because I have one in hand and one in a holster. It is not the typical portrayal of a self-defense situation. Another thing I learned is that yes, a BG or two must be placed in the photograph for "Intervention".

I am not a pro, nor do I pretend to be. I just thought it would be fun. I am corresponding with a professional who is pointing things out to me with a keen eye, and we will meet someday and produce more meaningful, directed posters. I await that day, as it cannot happen now. Soon, but not now. I will take direction, and of course present it here.

Thank you for your service as well. <Hand..Salute>

A better caption?:

"I got two guns...one for each of ya!"...A drunk Doc Holliday confronting Johnny Ringo in the movie "Tombstone" .

1) For your service - all my thanks & prayers.

2) For your art work - I LOVE IT. You and Oleg should get along wonderfully!!! I hope you can you can make some cash off this!!

Thank you.

I got these in an email from a good buddy and was 'looking' for a place to share them ... I am sure you have seen some of them, but they do convey the point well, but none have the cachet of yours :lol: Although the M4 CARBINE might actually belong to "Gun Porn" thread

You Beat Me To It...

That's what I was going to say! One of the all time best movies!

Thanks to OKBoomer and yes, Tombstone was a great movie. One of those that can be rewatched.
