Here's a great billboard on highway 71 eastbound toward the airport in Austin, Texas.

How long before the liberals demand that the sign be removed because it's "scaring/not sending the right message to/inappropriate for the children"?

Yep. The picture looks an aweful lot like the one Oleg Volk took. Wonder if they got permission? Oleg is a heck of a nice guy.

Oleg's site

Way to go, TEXAS!
Is that copyright protected in any way? Could our (or anybody's) local gun org. use this?

This billboard will be up until February 28, 2002. This same billboard changes all the time, always with a similar statement on gun control.

I am so happy that you posted this. I have seen this billboard several times, but haven't a clue how to post a picture of it, and somehow, just describing it wouldn't have the impact of posting the photo. Thanks!

You can go to the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association's Web Site to see these billboards...

Excellent! It (almost) makes me miss billboards ... NH has an amazing lack of them, though there are a few.

It does indeed (answering another poster) look like an Oleg Volk, who is very generous about the use of his work (but it should have attribution on it somewhere, OR they paid him for it).

As a transplanted Texan, I am proud to see that and know it's in Austin. As a gun rights advocate, I'm thinking I should look into what it would take to get one or more of those put up in Concord, where the state legislators would see it when they drive in to work ... hmmm ...

Thanks for posting that! I hope you post the new one, each month!

Not my image. I forget who made the original graphic, it has been on one of the pro-RKBA sites for a while. The billboard took the idea but, obviously, produced the pictures at higher resolution. Glad they got their act together.
