The scene clearly symbolizes her fear. This is a point when she hated Tony the most. She just slept with another man. Though Tony's face in the picture seemed friendly, those were not the thoughts running through her head. Excellent writing in this scene. She remembers all that is bad about Tony and her fear of his retaliation. Enter the gun. It was for protection against him. The scene clearly symbolizes her fear.

Carmela is not the type to sleep with a gun, unless it were to save her life. Tony's kind face in the fishing picture with AJ brought up feelings of fear in here, showing that not only did she hate him, but feared him, even when he wore a smile.

Fear drove her to the gun, not missing Tony.

The Doc

And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
