A photo of a young woman wearing a T-shirt supporting President Donald Trump and displaying a concealed weapon is wrong in so many ways to many on the left.
In the minds of liberals, it’s just just wrong — it must also be illegal.
The photo Brenna Spencer posted on her Twitter account Saturday to commemorate her upcoming graduation from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga certainly stirred up plenty of emotions.
The picture shows Spencer posing defiantly with Chattanooga’s Chief John Ross Bridge in the background, according to Newsweek, with the gun’s handle easily visible against her midriff.
Second Amendment supporters admired the photo and applauded Spencer’s courage for posting it, while gun-control advocates slammed the photo for being reckless in the wake of February’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Plus, critics can’t believe a young woman — or any woman — is vocal in her support of the president.
As of midday Thursday, the tweet had received almost 92,000 likes and had been retweeted nearly 14,000 times.

One critic of the picture alleged that Spencer broke the law by having her weapon visible at Chattanooga’s Hunter Museum of American Art. Spencer was standing outside of the museum when the photo was taken.
That same person even posted a screenshot of an article from ArtNews.com, which lists the Hunter Museum of American Art as being among the museums that does not allow citizens to carry firearms on its grounds.
WTVC, the ABC News affiliate in Chattanooga, contacted the Chattanooga Police Department about the legality of Spencer’s picture, but didn’t receive a reply to their request for a comment.ABC News called the police on my friend, Brenna Spencer (probably hoping to get a better story).
Here I am in solidarity with Brenna, also carrying in public. We will NOT allow for Leftist intimidation tactics to hinder our inalienable #2A rights. pic.twitter.com/qzv9adtm9G

The station did speak to Mark Haskins, a former member of the department who spent 30 years in law enforcement. But his reaction probably wasn’t what the station was looking for.
“I don’t have any adverse reaction to that,” Haskins told the station upon seeing Spencer’s photo.https://conservativetribune.com/remember-the-girl-abc-journalists-called-the-cops-on-her/Shows what lengths the Ameriphobes go to in order to demonize their enemies...something they do not do for their allies!
