Does she know that rifle is cocked? Yikes.

As a CMSA world champion cowgirl and SASS overall champion, I bet she does.

Right place or not, thanks for posting it. Nothing else I can add.

"Black Tuesday”
October 1929

*New*York*Stock*Exchange*October*1929*

What was the most devastating stock market in history, traders can be seen frantically working at the New York Stock
Exchange as they lost billions of dollars and investors in 1929.

New York Daily~

Stock brokers are seen at the New York Stock Exchange as panic continues from the previous day.
Thousands of investors lost their savings in the worst stock market crash in Wall Street history
on Oct. 29, 1929, after a five-day frenzy of heavy trading, triggering the Great Depression to follow.

People rush to a saving bank in Millbury, Massachusetts, on Oct. 24, 1929 as Wall Street in New York crashed,
sparking a run on banks that spread across the United States and the world.

But why? It just seems odd to me. Someone with her abilities. Doesn't add to the photo... just odd to me.

Very nice, Jack.

I don't know if y'all know who sings Fields of Gold in this short, Lizzie's Movie. Eva Cassidy, who also died way too young. Sting claimed Eva sang Fields of Gold better than he ever did.

I didn’t noticed at first, and it does seem odd unless there was a reason why the gun is cocked.
but since there is no caption or information, it’s difficult to say.

Found this on the web:

The "cocking the gun to show you mean business” dates back to Westerns, back when those old revolvers forced you to cock them between each shot (something that was made obsolete 150 years ago.
I’m no gun expert, just my 2¢.

Sure, in movies. In gun fights, but a photo shoot?

I'm LOL about the part saying it was made obsolete 150 years ago. Tell that to Ruger Exec's. They sell thousands of those old knuckle busters. They are a weakness for me, just like hats.
