Your buddy in the background...

I'm betting this thread gets snuffed.


-T.

EDIT: Just noticed the photo has been censored.

The person who took the picture should step aside. Bad spot to be.

Looks like the guy behind the shooter is taking the pic. He probably has the remote for the camera in his hand.

I know the four rules, but if the gun is unloaded I don't think it is that big of a deal for a picture.

I see it as no different then standing in front of a car to take a picture, while your buddy sits in the drivers seat with the keys in his pocket.

Who said there was anyone in front of the gun besides the camera. They do have timers you know.

Thats sort of what I thought. We are willing to cross a street with complete strangers driving towards you, but not let an unloaded gun be pointed at us.

Timers are your friend. Even knowing how we took it, I still wince a little. The brake opening looks enormous.

Still a little unnerving to see, unloaded or not. A .50 is not something where I want to be staring down the business end.

Timers are your friend.

Timers and mirrors

Still a little unnerving to see

I ignored rule 3 on this one

We all have a responsibility to be safe and promote gun safety, HOWEVER- the assumption that all photos of this type were taken in violation of the safety rules is often mistaken and the resulting five-thousand admonishments are unnecessary.

 

[RenardSubtil]

for some odd reason this picture reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where they debunked the sniper getting shot to death through his scope

 

[TIMC]

Another scary one for you and yes I used the timer on the camera.
