“NCIS” newbie Maria Bello has earned a mixed response after posting a pic of herself prepping for the show while posing with a large gun.
Bello, who debuted on the long-running CBS procedural last week as Special Agent Jack Sloane, shared a photo to Instagram on Monday of herself with boyfriend Elijah Allan-Blitz. They’re both holding firearms (or replicas), and Bello appears to be brandishing a semi-automatic weapon.
“Agent Jack Sloane and sidekick @elijah_a.b gun training for #ncis Thanks Leon!!!” Bello wrote. Her message references director of NCIS Leon Vance, played by actor Rocky Carroll.
While a number of fans responded with excitement for what Jack Sloane might be up to, other Instagram users criticized the actress for smiling while holding a gun in the wake of this month’s Las Vegas shooting. “That’s a shameful pic,” one individual wrote. “Always been a fan, but glamorizing assault weapons after Vegas is clumsy at best, callous at worst. One less fan. Good luck with ‘NCIS.'”
“There is nothing sexy about anyone holding a gun,” wrote another fan.
Yet another commenter chimed in with, “Weird timing for posting this.”

...not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Ooooh! A large gun, what could be more terrifying to a liberal bed wetter.
More people died in Nice, France by a Jihadist with a TRUCK..I never heard anyone calling for the ban of trucks
You mean “assault” trucks? LOL
Yeah..ban those nasty trucks, they kill people..and how about high heel shoes. I read a story once about a woman who stabbed to death her ex husband by stabbing him to death with her high heel shoe..so time to ban those too..not like Im a fan seriously those things are murder to walk in
Good trigger management, no mag in the weapon. What’s the trouble?
There was a shooting in Vegas?
that's what I was thinking,
Triggered! Triggered!
That makes Mr. Weiner stand up straight don’t it?
I think there is a rifle in that picture.

I would hate for any female posters to feel harassed by any comment I might offer.
Really freak 'em out.
They are murder to walk in, but they come in handy if you have to stab the husband.
I doubt they write the comments. They can’t write that well.
Nothing sexy? I beg to differ, that’s a great pic. Good trigger finger and muzzle discipline, a winning smile. Definitely someone I’d like to meet.
