That’s Dakota Meyer — a Marine who was awarded the Medal of Honor for action in the Battle of Ganjgal (you can read my review of his book here). If there is a man alive today who know how to handle a firearm, it’s Dakota Meyer.
Notwithstanding his expertise and experience, internet trolls freaked out at the proximity of his pistol to his baby daughter. Here’s how the Daily Mail described the picture:
In the image, the Medal of Honor winner appears to be getting ready to leave his house. While he can be seen adjusting the holster, Sailor is innocently sucking on her pacifier, unaware that a lethal weapon is mere inches away from her.
“Mere inches away” — the drama, oh the drama. But I must confess that I’m confused. Is the concern that Meyer’s infant daughter will pitch forward in her car seat, grab the gun while tumbling down from the kitchen island, and fire it while her father stands right next to her – completely helpless? Or is the concern that a baby is next to a gun — and everyone knows that guns just radiate deadliness and malice.

.... She’s too young to have been indoctrinated by the assclowns that will eventually (maybe) get their mind altering teachings on her....
Since he’s willing to take on murdering Muslim terrorists, he will fight for his child. She won’t ever be in front of a liberal “educator.”
Libtards will demand a safe side of dad where the baby can go hide.
The gun should be loaded and there should be a round chambered. How else is a man supposed to protect his daughter in Obama's American?
If there’s not a round in the chamber, it’s a hammer.
In another (better) time the headline would be “Daddy protects baby daughter”
Modern leftists would have attacked Audie Murphy for the same “offense”.
LOL! Your age is showing. Most likely a lot of folks out there who haven’t a clue who he was or what he did during WW II. Now THAT was a heroic man. Just doing his job.
Correction...she’s “mere inches away” from two lethal weapons — that pistol and MOH winner, Dakota Meyer.
Military members who are awarded the Medal Of Honor are not called “winners” of same. “Awardees” yes, but not “winners” of it.
TC
The real heart breaker is how Audie Murphy’s life played out after the war.
A sad demise for sure. Kinda makes me want to watch “To Hell and Back” again.
He never, ever went anywhere without his .45 within 6 feet. Would wake in the middle of the night just to make sure all his doors and windows were locked, and would sometimes go outside to take a look around.
These panties-twisted-in-a-knot, light-in-the-loafer LIBs think the inanimate object (i.e., gun) is going to jump and bite her. What useless twits.
Wow, I had no clue they still gave the Medal of Honor to living soldiers. I thought you had to die in action to receive one. This gentlemen must be a true hero. Now I will have to go read all about him!
Uh, there is a long list of living MOH recipients. Mr. Bristol Palin for one. aka Dakota Meyers. :)
Modern day leftists would have a herd of cattle over Alvin York.
Great movie.
You are right. There are 11 living recipients of the MOH from the Afghan war. That is more than I thought. I thought you had to die in action pretty much for the committee to buy off on you.
I wonder how many children are beaten to death or strangled every day, and if the author of the idiocy soiled himself when he saw a picture of a child next to his parent’s hands, unaware of the lethality in such close proximity.
For that matter, I wonder if the author ever saw a picture of a baby near a vacuum cleaner.
