Dakota Meyer, Bristol Palins 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 Meyers 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.
Thats just how we roll haha, Meyer responded....

There is no magazine in that gun.
Perhaps the bigger issue is that someone who suffers from PTSD and has already tried to kill himself once with a glock pistol, keeps a pistol that accessible.
Why don’t you go grab it from him while I make some popcorn?
Homo porn on the tv in the background would be okay with libs though.
I've heard tell is that his screen name is GrizzlyCubGunslinger!
Jes sayin’......it is possible that a live round may remain in the chamber when the magazine has been removed [or inserted, for that matter]
We were taught....**Never leave a firearm unattended, whether loaded or unloaded. Always put a responsible and competent adult in charge of your firearm to maintain safety and reduce the likelihood of accidents.**
I’m gonna go with a decorated war veteran made sure there was no round in the chamber. Even I remember to do that. :-)
This may be a first. I don’t know that the Democrats have ever gone so far as to go after a MoH recipient.
The Kardashians are on a secluded private island.
Do you really think they respect that? Especially a rural white guy about to marry a Palin?
You noticed that dark little rectangle too? Sure looks like the clip is out to me.
To play devil’s advocate......just by *looking* at that firearm on the table....there is no way of knowing if there is a round in the chamber unless you made it cold yourself. ;)
**Treat every gun as though it’s always loaded.** Very basic stuff.
This is a good lesson for young Mr. Meyer.....if he’s going to enter the arena with celebs, he better be ready for the tiniest scrutiny.
A Medal of Honor recipient, by definition, is a celebrity. Living ones are pretty rare these days.
Well, obviously not.
But again, the question, have they ever gone this far, to attack someone with a Medal of Honor?
It’s amazing. They’re completely oblivious.
Yep, 8 from the modern era, just as I said.
A Medal of Honor recipient tend to be posthumous. Like those two Delta Force snipers in Somalia.
Its Alaska.. have a gun nearby is like wearing a seat-belt while driving or a helmet on a motorcycle.. it just the prudent thing to do... really do you think the baby is going to grab the gun?
Do they expect the gun to jump up off the table under its own power and run down the kid?
Well if the baby related.. maybe
