That attitude has killed more uninformed people and their unfortunate friends than you would believe.

CHECK THE CHAMBER, CHECK THE CHAMBER CHECK THE CHAMBER,

Now it's safe

From looking at the picture I can't tell if the bolt is open or closed but I would have my doubts a combat grunt is going to do something that stupid as having a round in the chamber while he's adjusting the sling. Also, I don't see anything close to the trigger that looks hazardous. We all know the rules of safety and common sense.

I suspect that those around algore, knew he was such a freaking clutz --- that they never issued him any ammo..

REMEMBER --- algore was a REMF who banged a typewriter...while PROTECTED by TWO ASSIGNED BODYGUARDS.

Semper Fi

CHECK THE CHAMBER, CHECK THE CHAMBER CHECK THE CHAMBER,

Now it's safe.

When I was a youngster one of my friends found his granny's .45 auto. He was showing it to me. He worked the slide, dropped the magazine and then pointed it at a wall, obviously about to pull the trigger. I yelled at him to stop.

"It's empty," he said, looking puzzled.

"Pull the slide back!".

He did. The large .45 cartridge fell to the floor making a sound like the trump of doom. His eyes durn near fell out of their sockets.
