That’s obviously a shotgun he’s looking down the barrel of, not a rifle.
You obviously know2 nothing about Fred Thompson.
The Associated Press has never been my first choice of places to go for accurate firearms information :-)
Your observations are correct but when I am looking at a shotgun I close one eye and look down the sight plane. Don’t know why, just do.
You are certainly right.
Since you posed the question, how much are you willing to put up?
I look forward to voting for this man.
Hey.... if we registerd as dimorats after Primaries we could vote for FRED twice!

I think Fred is the only conservative that can win the nomination. As much as I like Hunter, he stands no chance. Huckabee is only 1/2 of a conservative, despite the Chuck Norris endorsement. (G)
Fred Thompson on the 2nd Amendment:
I strongly support the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which protects an individuals right to keep and bear arms. Gun control is touted as a major crime-control measure. But some of the places with the strictest gun-control laws also have high violent-crime rates. Disarming law-abiding citizens does not prevent crime. The answer to violent crime is smart, effective, and aggressive law enforcement. The real effect of these gun-control measures is to place onerous restrictions on law-abiding citizens who use firearms for such legal activities as self-defense, sport-shooting, hunting, and collecting. I am committed to:
* Strictly enforcing existing laws and severely punishing violent criminals.
* Protecting the rights individual Americans enjoy under the Second Amendment.
Thanks very much for posting that article!
From the IMDB "trivia" section about Leslie Easterbrook:
Her father wrote the Nebraska Navy Song
She is on pro-staff at HTVIZ, a company that manufactures a superior sight-system, and is on the advisory boards of Sugarbugs, Inc., The National Law Enforcement Memorial, The Hollywood Celebrity Shoot, and a committee recently formed by the French government to honor American World War H veterans who participated in D-Day and the liberation of France. Leslie also has her own theatre in Nottingham England - The Leslie Easterbrook Auditorium - at the Showcase Cinema there!

Doesn’t appear he’s too familiar with firearms, if he was, he’d know......keep your finger off the trigger.
Treat the weapon as if it were loaded....all the time.
Comfortable with weapons or photo op????
You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted that you've found it to be worthwhile :-)
You're quite welcome, and agreed on all counts. I'm not sure about drill team equipment, but I'm sure that someone more familiar will drop by shortly to confirm or correct :-)

Didn’t he get the memo! Politicians are only allowed to hold guns in simulated hunting trips. The MSM will ONLY cover a campaigning politician when the can cover a candidate as supporting the “sporting second amendment”. This individual right second amendment will cause the MSM computers to melt.

I also found it at his official site
Good point. I wonder if he checked to make sure it was unloaded? I remember one time I was at a friends house and one of his buddies came over to show off his new H&K rifle. Thousands of dollars and looked like something out of Star Wars to me!
He pulls it out of the case and starts to hand it to my friend. I stopped him and said “Excuse me, can you show me that its not loaded.” He gave me an odd look and chuckled and said “Of course its not loaded” and started to hand it over again. I stopped him again and made him open the action to prove to me it wasn’t loaded. After he did (it wasn’t loaded) I promptly left as I don’t like to be in the presence of jerks if I don’t have to.
