Inaccurately criticizing Big Ted for the way he’s carrying his shotgun? Really? That all they got? Smells like.....DESPERATION.

“and, of course, he grabs some random image of “himself” trudging up a hill to “hunt turkeys”. “

Nah, that was his Comic Con costume for Spec Ops.

Could’ve been worse.

Ted could’ve chewed a Poptart into the shape of a shotgun. That sends the Left over the edge, too.

If you are going to quote the texas gun safety site quote the whole sholder carry section;

Shoulder Carry

shoulder carry

The shoulder carry balances the rifle on your shoulder, controlling the firearm by a hand on the grip. Always keep your finger off the trigger and on the outside of the trigger guard. This is a good carry when walking beside or behind others. It is not a good carry ifothers are behind you.

Range shoulder carry

When at a shooting range the correct shoulder carry for a break action shotgun would be with the action open, unloaded, barrel pointing down and forward, controlled by both hands.

I bought a print of the original, which features Reagan, and it is framed and hanging on the wall of my office at work.

Your weak attempt to trash Cruz is a total fail. Is he at a gun range? Is there anybody behind him? Could his shotgun possibly fire in that condition?

Your pathetic attempt at stuffing your imaginary strawman is a total fail - I like Cruz.

There are buildings behind him, and what looks like vehicles. There could be people back there too.

Logical and rational reasons to not carry barrels over the shoulder.

You’re really reaching if you have to call in YouTube to back your attack on Cruz.

Your really stuffing straw in the strawman if you imagine that to be an attack on Cruz.

I like Cruz.

In all fairness, Gil Ash is a highly respected Sporting Clays instructor.

The way Cruz is carrying is safe due to the gun being open, but you are not completely aware of where the muzzle is pointing, which is both a safety (when loaded) and courtesy (any other time) issue.

I assume so, since he made the comment that started this whole thread.
