Okay, so here we have the senator driving what looks like a shorter barrel over/under 12 gauge, probably his upland game gun.

However, the next closeup shows us something disturbing: as with his last excursion to the range in Wisconsin a few months ago, he's missing protective eyewear, and this time, there can be no doubt that he's also sans hearing protection:

Once again, this calls into question his judgement. Why would the good senator risk his vision and his hearing?

...why, anything for a good photo op!

Which of the veritable myriad of possible "causes" is that yellow wrist band supposed to represent?

Solidarity with people of gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgenderedness? Native Americans? Victims of Hurricanes Charley/Frances/Andrew/etc? The AFofL/CIO? MADD?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yeah, I can snap an empty case in front of some cameras, too.

Oh, nice form.

He has no idea how this sport is done.

I do a good bit of shotgun shooting. You should use both eyes. It's not like rifle shooting. I don't think Poodle the Gigolo shhots much, if at all. The shotgun looks to short as well, but I'm sure he borrowed it.

[Noumenon]

Please tell me that that's a hot casing on a trajectory towards Frenchy's not inconsiderable forehead. Bonk! Ow!

His ears'll be ringing for days. How's he going to hear what the voices are telling him?

Kerry has been skeet shooting many times. In fact, at a recent trap shooting event he mentioned his family's many snipe hunt adventures. Kerry stated, "They aren't very big, but when you get enough of those little rascles in the skillet, you've got some tastey fixin's."

Names were changed to protect the innocent. Snipes have never been known to attack people in the wild.

Look at me, look at me, I'm shooting a gun, I'm a regular guy! (Despite voting to ban all centerfire rifle ammo)

SEE PHOTO #2!
ROFLOL!!!!!!

[WorkingClassFilth]

What?

No crawling on his belly, strategizing and sniffing the wind?

What French wine does one serve with skeet anyway?

[mbennett203]

Does the President hunt or shoot skeet/target shoot? Dems are so cute when they think they'll get my vote because they took a photo op with a 25,000 dollar engraved euro shotgun. Hint, Dem boys and girls: The "average joe" that shoots can't afford one o' them.

What's the deal anyway? I saw a pic of John F. Kennedy smiling, talking to some guy holding a crossbow, while JFK was presenting his brand-new AR-15 style rifle. For all the freepers that have been there way before I have, when did the Dems start pushing this citizen disarmament crap under gun control?

[mbennett203]

"there can be no doubt that he's also sans hearing protection:"

That I'm unsure of. It he may have those silicone style ear plugs, they can be rather small. The foam ones are probably better for hearing protection. I went out today with them and some earmuff-style ones. Very little noise.

Kerry with the only type of weapon you will photograph him with...
A single shot or an over under....(even Clinton used a Benneli Black Eagle)

Kerry has stated that it his intention that no honest American shall own or possess any type of weapon other than an over under or single shot shot gun or rifle...

No handgun of any type or semi auto of any type or any weapon that takes any kind of detachable magazine..

He has not stated under what conditions he would allow Americans to own or possess these over under or single shot weapons or if he would allow Americans to even keep their weapons at their private dwellings or have them locked up in police stations or under lock and key at private gun clubs...

Kerry hates the second amendment and hates the idea of common men and women owning firearms...his posing with a shotgun is for the cameras and to lure gun owners and sportsmen and women to vote for him...once he has taken office...then the gloves will come off....John Kerry is known to be a liar and a promise breaker...he cannot be trusted as a protector of America's Constitutional rights..

He is not an American at heart...never was ...and never will be....the worst thing that could happen to our country is to elect John F Kerry to it's most important office...

Father God please protect us against such enemies domestic...

imo

[dancusa]

Another style over substance photo op.They don't call him 'live shot' John Kerry for nothing.The guy walks around with his TV make up applied at all times.

[kenth]

The left had the nerve to exaggerate President Bush's vacation time. Is there ever a time Kerry is not on vacation? His entire campaign has been one long vacation.

[rs79bm]

Senator Kerry, time for your National Security Briefing...

Huh?? What? Uh, tell em to call back.., I'm.... busy.

[nomad]

Remember that photo of Gore bending over with the barrel of his weapon pointed at his head? I don`t suppose Kerry would be stupid enough to do the same to a loaded shotgun?

[Buttaboom]

I hate to offer any advice that might leak back to one of his handlers, but persisting in dressing him up in one of his fine lawn dress shirts when he's engaging in a "manly" sport just makes him look like a big sissy.

I have a few of the yellow LAF bands myself, having lost two family members to cancer in the last couple of years and battling it myself now. I'm being pissy about it, but I'm less inclined to wear mine because of how often I see Kerry wearing his. It sort of seems cheapened when I see it in all of his photo ops.

[jerry639]

Perfect place for John Kerry to be. He is always running his lying trap.
The way he squints, when sighting the gun, makes me wonder if he could hit the side of a barn standing inside of it.

[supercat]

Once again, this calls into question his judgement. Why would the good senator risk his vision and his hearing?

How much noise does a shotgun make when you load and eject a spent shell?

[Hotdog]

WOW...Good call! But spitballs don't make any noise!

[hope]

He forgot his ammo.
