Last summer Bob Ferris’ wife returned from church looking particularly beautiful so he decided to take a few snapshots with his camera. A few months later the couple happened across a contest promotion in People magazine called “Real Beauty at Every Age.” The contest was open to everyone and all that it required was a photo submission.

Well, frankly, I support the Second Amendment, but I don’t think she’s a likely beauty contest winner. Not that that excuses them for banning her because of the gun.

Is there an “Angry Mother-In-Law” beauty contest?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s why I choose a Colt 1911.

May I recommend that every man teach his wife (if she doesn't know already), how to use many types of weapons, to include firearms.

Yeah, I know it's dangerous, but the pluses out way the minuses.

Wax on, wax off. Beer goggles on, BG off. Not bad.
But we need a professional opinion. Oh Lazarus ...

Um, looks like the one in orange has her hands over the muzzle. I think I need to give her some gun safety lessons. She can come as she is.

She might do better in the “Angry ex-wife” contest...

(I’m not the one who left out the beauty...)
