As requested...an example of why only the professionals should be allowed to handle firearms:

To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them... -- Richard Henry Lee, 1787
Her finger is not the only thing that is a bit off. LOL
lol, great post
In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they don't have a real enemy, they'll invent one in order to mobilize us.
LOL that's what I'm talking about!! Leave it to the proffessionals, HA!
As to whether or not she is married I doubt it. Insert tab A into slot B, it's not in yet something doesn't feel right?
And I see this takes place in Texas! OMG!

It so extremely bothers me when someone in a law enforcement position screws up that bad. I understand that sometimes the firearms training is not that great, but goodness. Don't they realize that when their lives or someone elses is on the line that the "bang stick" is the only thing thats going to help them. Holy Crap. There is going to be a serious surprise when she goes to hear the bang from the bang stick. I've seen the photo before, but does anyone know the actual story behind all of this. Was she a reserve or Explorer or something. Had she been through POST training yet??? I'm not much of a rifle person currently, don't have the money currently to get into it, but gee even I know that one. I know that guns are not everyones thing, but youd think that if your going to carry something that may save your life someday, youd atleast crack the seal on the owners manual. ARGG. Oh Well!!!
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

The two loudest sounds in the world:
"BANG" when you're expecting "click", and "CLICK" when you're expecting bang.
I did some cropping on the pic (can't seem to find the original). There was a little text below the photo that said they were responding to a man who had barricaded himself inside a building. So I'm guessing they grabbed everyone who can walk upright and stuck a rifle in their hands as a show of force. Probably doesn't have any rounds in the mag... I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt that even the most gun-illiterate know that the pointy-end goes that-a-way (but that's probably giving too much credit).
If you look closely, it appears that not only is the magazine "backwards", but it's also upside down. :icon_sad:
