Preston Flanders is an avid hunter and longtime gun enthusiast. So, it made perfect sense to Preston to be photographed with one of his rifles for his official senior portrait.
“I grew up hunting and my parents hunt, my grandparents hunt,” Preston told television station WCAX. “I’ve been hunting since I was eight, it’s when I passed my hunter safety scores. I’ve gone to several different courses, I shoot at ranges, I like shooting. That’s what I like doing.”
But when the student at Mill River Union High School submitted the professional photograph, school leaders rejected the portrait.
“I just think that senior pictures are supposed to be showing what you enjoy doing, so I tried to do that in mine,” the teenager said.
Television station WCAX reports that the rifle violated a school policy banning images of guns and specifically depictions of gun. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
