Now, I'm not saying that said celebrities are necessarily pro-gun. Though we all know that many celebrities are simply afraid to "come out of the closet," for for the well-founded fear of ruining their careers.
Heck, some of them undoubtedly are, but this thread is about _pix_...
I'll start:

Jennifer Aniston, "Leprechaun I"
Annie Oakley
Kari Byron, "Mythbusters"
Zoe Washburn, "Firefly"

I have always liked Mythbusters. Like it more when Kari is shooting guns!!!

Zoe has it made, the Alliance is not anal about NFA stuff like the BATF

Ya reckon Sara has her finger wrapped around that trigger tightly enough?

My Aunt Rose. (sorry guys, she's taken)

My Uncle Ralphie used to joke that he wished they made a silencer for her instead of the gun.

Jolene Blalock with some sort of big phaser (?). I tried to find her as T'Pol with a holstered phaser. This is the best I could do. But I know that I've seen better pics of her with phasers.

I thought that T'Pol on Star Trek: Enterprise was the sexiest woman in space. Certainly, my favorite Vulcan!

This is a pretty bad pic of a lovely lady.

Here's my friend and often Dillon cover girl Cathy Rankin in a scene from a TV movie:

- Cogito, ergo armatus sum -

Cover of a Modesty Blaise paperback. The books were great, as were the comic strips, but Modesty seldom used a Luger. Usually a "Colt .32" (model not specified), a Star PD .45, or (for longer range) a S&W .41 Magnum.

Do a Search for Modesty Blaise, and you'll find a ton of material, many images of her with guns. Some interviews of her creator, Peter O'Donnell, too. And examples of the comic strips.

Anyone else here a Modesty fan? The guns in the books were nearly always well chosen for the characters using them.

Australian actress Lara Cox, portraying Finn in the third season of, "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World" wields a revolver. You can see her use a Webley MK VI in the episode, "The Imposters" on YouTube, which has all episodes, I think.

In that episode, Finn manages to spin the cylinder on the Webley while the hammer is cocked! Anything is possible with prop guns, I guess...

Her own weapon was a nifty little crossbow.

For Lara's current movie, see her photo on page 3 of the topic about The Marine 2 on page 2 (today)in The Lounge.

I really liked Finn. She could be fierce and cynical, but was loyal to her fellow explorers, had a wry sense of humor, and was a fast thinker and a sharp looker. Her brief back shorts/hot pants didn't hurt her image, either.

Not that far into it as a fan, but if I were in that world for real I bet I would be

Texas Star, you are obviously a highly intelligent individual, with discriminating taste. I could not agree with you more.

I think she's got a phaser on here, doesn't she? Maybe.


Or maybe that's one here. Sorry, these are the only images I have of Jolene at the moment. Both shots from "In a Mirror Darkly II."

Yvonne Strahovski from NBC TV series "Chuck" as CIA agent Walker with a 3rd generation Smith & Wesson.

Senor, I thank you. You, too seem a perceptive and discerning man. But if you want pics of her, just type her name in a Google or MSN Search blank. You'll find many, most not suited for this family values board!

In many, she clearly has no phaser (or anything else) to get in the way of your view. Alas, being a Vulcan, she seldom smiled. But Jolene has a pretty pout, don't you think?

As for .40Cal's pics of Yvonne Strahovski as Sarah Parker, I think that Yvonne may be the best action actress out there. Like Lara Cox, (see photo on the page ahead of this one), Yvonne is an Aussie who often has to fake a US accent. I love listening to her in her own voice on talk shows. You can hear her in a bunch on YouTube.

Note that Sarah Parker is using a S&W auto. Only show that I've seen where the actors did that since "Acapulco H.EA.T." folded in the 1990's. Boy, they had some nice chicks on that! The redhead (played by Alison Armitage) was actually a Brit using a US accent.

I was delighted to see Jolene Blalock on a Star Trek spinoff. That franchise was usually supplied with homely to mediocre women, apparently selected by a feminist PC woman who didn't like pulchritude as a motive for watching TV programs. What a waste! I can think of only a few exceptions to that rule, the main one being the scientific officer who was enchanted by Khan (Ricardo Montalban sp?) on the original series. I think the actress was named Madelaine Rhue, although that's thinking back for many years.

Here's one of T'Pol looking at a phaser on a nearby table.

i have seen war and i have seen Eleanor. I prefer war

jeez... she was not a handsome woman was she.
at least she entertained the thought of guns though.

just read an article about Jessie Abbate... the glock pro shooter. too bad shes married. here she is with some friends

Celebrities with guns are out there as much as there are celebrities that are anti-gun.

A great lady in one of my first favorite movies:

I've been a Modesty Blaise fan for years and always hoped that they would make a decent movie about her. The one from the 60's was horrible. They made a fairly decent movie a few years ago called 'My Name is Modesty' but it didn't have Willie Garvin and was much too talky; little action.

Did you see the silly TV series that tried to transplant Modesty and Willie to California? I think it starred Tony Franciosa as Willie! Hardly what's needed when the book describes a big, blond Cockney! All they had to do was to look at the comic strip to see what Modesty and Willie looked like, if they were too busy to read the novels.

I don't know why it is that almost all producers who buy film rights to books seem to understand so poorly what it was that made the books popular. The James Bond movies were okay for the first 2-3, then went off the deep end on humor and gadgets. Fleming must be rolling over in his grave over what they did to his character..unless he'd be laughing all the way to the bank, had he lived longer.

One girl with a gun whom I liked was Rachel Blakely, as Marguerite Krux on The Lost World. In the opening sequences of one season, she shot a dinosaur every week with her little revolver! Mind you, until she mellowed as the seasons passed, Marguerite was also lethal with cutting remarks!

T-Star

Showing my age, but Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel of the Avengers in one of her less racy outfits . . . .

Is that a Colt,s Dragoon Keri is holding?

I always thought that Mrs. Peel's appearance, especially in that outfit, was based on Modesty Blaise. Both characters were British, so that may not be too far fetched. Modesty was very popular in the comics as well as in the excellent books.

But Emma Peel wore leather, and Modesty's cat suit was some sort of synthetic stretch stuff, I think. She also wore black cotton outfits at times, as well as more elegant clothes on suitable occasions.
Like, most of the time when she wasn't sneaking around in the dark after villains.

I just figured out what you mean. She's on Page 1, and her name is Kari something. The gun is a modern copy of a Colt M-1851 Navy .36. The Italian makers seldom seem to get the flare at the bottom of the handle right on those...

The Dragoons were much more massive. I think this gun looks larger than usual because the girl is small.

The only other older Colt design I've seen here is the SAA that Lara Cox is holding. It's the gun carried by Prof. George Challenger, played by Peter McCauley. Actually, if you watch the episode in which she was introduced ("Finn"), the gun he had that time was a Ruger Blackhawk. Look for the rear sight and the other little distinctions. On other episodes, the gun was probably an Italian Colt SAA copy. It was supposed to be a real Colt, given the time frame, circa 1919-1922, depending on the season.

The Ruger also appeared in the episode, "Trophies", wielded by villain Avery Burton/Applegate. You can see it well in the start of the clip where Burton eventually forces Veronica to surrender. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT_fa...eature=related He's forcing Lord Roxton and Prof. Challenger into a cavern. And of course, in those scenes with Veronica, near the last of that clip. I was pretty smug to have "caught" the Blackhawk on both episodes. You see it better on the DVD's, but even YouTube makes it discernible, if you know what to look for. Look for the knife that Veronica stabs into the stump when she surrenders, too. (About mark 8:36 here, I believe.) I think it's a copy of the Fairbairn commando knife, but with a leather or wood handle. You guys will like Veronica, played by Jennifer O'Dell. Worth watching the clip to see her.

The original was great. I think there was a remake which sucked.

Another fan of Mrs. Peel.

Really strange way to hold a revolver.

Is that Gina Rowlands ? I'm seem to remember her being very anti-gun, which I thought at the time ironic given the role.

Yes Gena Rowlands. I don't know what her gun sentiments are.

A lot of actors who were made famous with guns are afraid of real guns because look at all the violence that stems from Hollywood gun movies! [That's irony].

I got turned off to Daniel Craig for his inane anti-gun statements when he was first picked as James Bond.

He kind of won me back with "Defiance".

I can't believe this topic went this long without Sharon Stone in The Quick and the Dead...

SHARON IS LOOKING GOOD

I tend to think of Sharon more in terms of icepicks. (Basic Instinct).

I read that her gun in the film you cited was actually a lightweight studio item, so that she could handle it faster than a true Colt SAA. If true, it sure looks real.

Gloria Grahame was always one of my favorites. That picture of her with the Luger... WOW ! It was probably from some 1940's film noir pic, they should have had her with a Dick Special or nickle plated Colt pocket auto but I'll make allowances in her case.
