There is no magazine in the rifle, so it is likely unloaded,

That assumption has killed innumerable people.

Yep, wherever Al was when that picture was taken, we have been told he served, in whatever capacity. I'm not down on him for that.

He has done plenty since then to be worthy of derision.

“That assumption has killed innumerable people.”

That was my first thought. It’s like some of these writers have never heard of a round in the chamber with the bolt closed and the magazine ejected.

Maybe they only run around with magazine disconnect pistols and have no clue how a rifle works?

I generally like Dean Weingarten’s columns quite well, and think he missed it badly with that comment.
