No Scott, I was not beong calumnious in the least. I was just letting some folks know where I stand.ScottS opined;
Clearly defending this guy's gun handling, and casting aspersions on those who were critiquing it.
The shooting form in that photo is bad. VERY bad. So lets critique him on what he was DOING and not on what he was WEARING. Okay?
My point was that for those who were trying to figure out if his finger was or was not on the trigger that it takes all of what, 15 seconds, to enlarge it and LOOK! But Noooooooo. Some people wanted to judge him based on what he was wearing and how he looked. And that's not very High Road now is it?
He was wearing eye protection, ear protection and comfortable clothes. Good for him.
And still I hope he doesn't shoot himself in the foot because that finger doesn't belong in the trigger guard until he's ready to fire.
And I hope he doesn't swallow that toothpick either but I sure as heck ain't gonna judge him because of it.
It appears that he is new to shooting and still learning. I only mentioned the position of his finger in the triggerguard because, just like you said, we all
Perhaps someone should clarify for him that the statment "finger away from the trigger" doesn't mean, somewhere else in the triggerguard.Gotta look for the pluses where you can find them.

Why should it matter to any of us what someone wears to the range as long as it's safe?
After all John Kerry doesn't care what anybody wears into the voting booth.
