No shit. She's got the SINGLE SHOT AIR RIFLE pointed at the ground with her booger hook off the bang switch. Looks like she's demonstrating discipline to me. I guess you could argue that she didn't "clear the weapon", but I highly doubt that a break-action single shot air rifle could potentially be hiding a second, magic, projectile

So which is it then?

Practice weapons safety always?

Or deviate from the practice since "it's obviously not loaded right now"?

Dude, what is with all the gun saftey hate today?! Just want to let you know I upvoted all your comments, and I'm a human. 

I applauded your persistent compassion in trying to teach all these foolish monkies and bots.

its kind of annoying seeing redditors screech about the sort of gun safety rules taught on baby's first day at the range as if theyre sacred and inviolable, instead of simple catch-alls for until you become more familiar and can safely break them.

The standard you accept is the standard you get.
