Not even a leeeeetle bit!

Don’t you just love it when an idiot tries to paint someone else as an idiot and ends up looking like ... an idiot?

I was taught to have it “broken” as shown, but to have the barrel down and in front. The shorter stock sticking out behind you is less of a hazard. Although it took me awhile to get over my aversion of getting finger prints/oil all over the barrels.

Which is exactly what the guy on Twitter was talking about - he's criticizing Cruz for not having the barrel down and in front. So, he's not wrong, though he's making a big deal out of something that shouldn't be a big deal...

Stock photo to later be offered up to the gullible as evidence of service in Vietnam when he ran for office...

That is their big problem - with their attitude of arrogance and condescension they cannot fathom being wrong.

They don’t know, what they don’t know so they THINK they know it all.

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld..

Meanwhile, comrades from the national Socialist American Workers Party can get away all manner of mistakes and malfeasance with nary a whisper from the #NationalSocialistMedia....

To be fair to Al, he simply seems to be adjusting the sling on the rifle. The picture can be interpreted as thought the barrel is pointed at his head, it is almost certainly pointed off to his left, a bit away from his head.

The rifle is almost certainly unloaded, as there does not appear to be a magazine in the magazine well.

To be fair to the libtards (IKR, why would I want to do that?), they're used to guns like this, so I can see whey they have difficulty deciphering the forwards/backwards thingy.

There no magazine in the rifle. He’s following the safety rules.

Wes Siler, it’s better to keep your mouth shut and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

You beloved leader does all kinds of actual idiotic crap, but you ignore them and make up crap about Ted? Bias much Wes?

Yes, that is my point - Conservatives on the Pro-liberty side of the aisle have to walk on eggshells.

But the national Socialist presidential candidates get a free pass..

Here’s a good example:

Clinton lists “climate change” as one of the reasons for the refugee crisis in Syria.

That gun is perfectly safe. It’s obviously broken. /s

That pack was probably stuffed with newspaper too.

Read the `ol man had told Al who wanted to avoid

the draft to take the tour of VN and he would have

bodyguards follow him.Strictly to enhance his political

future he went.

The idiot most likely never had a loaded weapon in VN.

Idiots. That’s the safe way to carry an unloaded over and under or double barrel shotgun.>>>>>
very comfortable as well.

correct. This is the instruction we drill into our 4Hrs.

This way the line judge can see from behind that the weapon is unloaded.

When you are a field, I do not see where it matters
