Weapons In Pictures

[Onehorse]

On another thread a poster commented "So glad to not see weapon in picture."

Do other people feel this way and why? The poster was asked and didn't reply.

I usually take pictures of my animals, some with and some without my rifles, but either way, I never give much of a thought to including them or not. However, I do give some thought to how the animal looks and try to "clean it up" a bit, and pose it nicely. Not to please anyone else or out of respect for them, but out of respect for the animal.

That's not very good advertising on their part

Fortunately we don't have to buy Zeiss. Should read; I killed this beautiful bear with my classic gun and cartridge. It was a great day. God is good.

Looks don't matter for guns and dogs as long as they do the job

Same goes for women. Lol

Fragile flowers sure get offended easily these days.

Guess I don't need to buy anything from Zeiss. Seems like the first and second amendments cover this pretty well.

I usually include my rifle in the pic, I hunt with two or three different rifles each season, and it allows me to look back and remember years later what rifle I used.

Zeiss also feels weapons should be minimized or left out of photos containing their products.

It's mostly a European thing, which of course is where Zeiss relates to. Doesn't apply so much in the US, as long as they're done tastefully, and you can see the the Zeiss optics!

Hey the only reason I don't post pics of my hunting rifle is , it could win ugliest rifle award.

That could also be point of pride, having a nice animal with your beautiful Walmart gun and mossy oak camo to show off!

So, like, carry an Allen wrench and just show the scope?

Zeiss America website does not show any AR style rifles but has 1 precision ans 1 hunting rifle.

Zeiss International (English) shows only 1 rifle (barely) with the words "Example of use - Observe prohibition of guns and hunting laws!" Over the rifle so you can only see the scope.

Internationally it looks like they are leaning heavy on their camera lens, medical optics, than binoculars, spotting scopes and hunting rifles.
