You mean we shouldn't inspect guns like Al Gore?
I was almost done with the Army when that pic came out, and as Supply Sergeant was partly responsible for the Arms Room. I printed up a bunch of safety stuff to hand around the issue window, including that one as one of the examples of stuff you shouldn't do 'cause that's where the bullets come out. I included that fact in the caption I wrote, and something about "by the way, that's Al Gore."
*If it's the same one I'm thinking of, where he's actually adjusting the sling with the muzzle pointed at his head.
