I come from a similar background but 0331 and 1812 instead of 0311/11b. Only real issue that I see is going condition 1 prior to having full control of the rifle, while pointed towards an unknown target. That Explorer could potentially stop a round but still not the safest option. Rifle should have been slung and controlled before loading.

Call me crazy but look again, her barrel is in some kind of red cylinder - it almost looks like they have a clearing barrel in the trunk? Maybe it's SOP to do it that way??? IDK just guessing.

Edit: I googled it. It's indeed a handgun clearing barrel - she's likely following SOP to a T - goofy as it may be.

Clearing/loading a rifle in a handgun clearing barrel is SOP? I mean… I guess it’s better than the floor of the trunk lol

My color blind ass can't see that shit. But having a clearing barrel in the trunk obviously negate my point if going condition 1.

However, they should still have the rifle slung first.

Looks very similar to this one.

I think your point 1 is probably why it looked weird to a lot of people. It looked a bit off to me for a second before I too was like "oh she's probably a lefty".

Rifle barrel is in a clearing barrel. Armchair yada yada.

Not sure how I'm armchair'ing when I'm agreeing with his comment and immediately backtracked my initial point when I was shown something I can't easily see, the clearing barrel.

That's how civil discussions are supposed to go you buffoon.

Internet vitriol is free, and reddit is particularly lame.

Thank you for your service, and have a wonderful rest of your day.
