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....

The gun’s not unattended if he’s sitting less than 3 feet away from it.
And if he can we are even safer!
The family that shoots together stays alive.
Being a Palin makes the household a target for every whacked-out leftist around. Firearms within reach are a sensible precaution.
“...every whacked-out leftist...”
Some redundancy there.
Yep. That’s pretty much what I was gonna type.
So what?
So?
Because the baby was going to body-check Meyer and lunge after a gun without a magazine in it. Who knows what tragedy might unfold.
Extremely!
Now imagine it’s 1954 and there’s a similar photo of Audie Murphy or Alvin York.
One-in-a-million shot!
What makes you think the Palin family cares what liberals think? Continue to hide under your bed if that makes you feel better.
What the heck are a bunch of libs doing following a conservative?
These people actually think a gun is dangerous by its mere existence. Plus it’s pointing away from them.
Either control the weapon at all times, or the baby. Also, that baby is too young to grasp anything other than a rattle, although kids can surprise you when they're a little older.
At least it wasn’t a thermonuclear weapon.
The chick-a-facation of American males continues.
5.56mm
We have knives all over our kitchen. I’m not kidding!
Some learn younger then others...

Its especially dangerous since it appears to me that its an unloaded weapon. Looks like the magazine has been removed.
