Dakota Meyer, Bristol Palin’s fiance, has defended a photo on his Instagram account that depicts him playing with an infant while a gun sits unattended on a nearby table.
In the image, which was uploaded to Meyer‘s account, according to the Daily Mail, the Medal of Honor recipient holds up a child, whose name is Rowan, while a semiautomatic handgun can be seen laying on a table in the background. First highlighted by the satirical website Wonkette, the image of Meyer is roughly 16-months-old. One Instagram commenter noted the presence of the gun, prompting a response from Meyer.
“Just love the fact that there is a pistol laying on the little table behind you,” the user wrote.
“That’s just how we roll haha,” Meyer responded....

Well you don’t get to be a Medal of Honor winner unless you know a little something about the usage of a gun. I’m just saying!
Since he is in control of the baby, and the gun is within a food of his body, I would not refer to the gun as “unattended”.
The metrosexuals really have their panties in a wad over this.
food = foot
Well, that settles it, for sure.
Good fn grief.
When you do that and the kid notices, you say “Go for it.” When the kid does and gets the drop on you, you know you have done your job as a parent. Both my kids could shoot better than me.
“semi-automatic handgun” - what an ass.
Considering the family, I somehow doubt that’s the first time the little one has been around a firearm.
I have a bunch of unattended guns in my house right now. They must be lonely...
You don't get the Army Achievement Medal without knowing a little about guns. LOL
Hmm...blurry picture being viewed on a small phone but appears that it may be a 1911. My main concern is that looks like it doesn’t have a magazine!
It’s a miracle that any of the Palin kids reached adulthood!
It appears to be lacking a magazine. If it’s not loaded, it’s not a firearm, just a piece of metal.
WHAT ASSHOLES! (I AM SCREAMING! )
Good catch, unless the little tyke can do a fast tactical reload and rack the slide, we’re safe.
I had loaded (unchambered) rifles in the unlocked gunrack in my bedroom when I was a kid...
And, as far as I know, they never jumped off the rack and shot anyone.
