4. In the Photo Extra section - tell me which photo in this 4 page section is your favorite and why? Also tell me what rules of photography you see evident in the photo.
I liked the 'Daring a Dash in Australia photo because it is so different and innovative. They took it from a different point of view and is different than normal photos. Viewpoint is very evident because they took the shot from below so the sky is the background of her figure as she runs and Rule of Thirds so there is space for her to "run" and she's not running off the page.
5. Why do Texans not really need a groundhog in Pennsylvania to tell them what the weather will be like the next six weeks?
We are essentially our own country and we use an armadillo to forecast our weather.

What do you think about this? Do you think anyone should be able to wear a handgun around their waist as they go about their daily business. Make sure you tell me WHY you think this.
I don't think that people should be able to wear a handgun around their waist. That is not safe for them or others around them. People can steal it from them in the open and you basically are telling everyone around you that you have a gun and that scares citizens because they don't know you, even if you are the nicest person in the world. That is not a good idea for everyday life. Especially with all the crime these days, I think it could put more people at risk and also there is a higher risk for shootings. People are unpredictable and if they get really upset and have a handgun right there on their belt, you don't know what they might do. That is a dangerous situation and it is better to avoid it by not letting this happen.
