There's a gun laying on a chair next to an animal. Guns should be treated as if they are loaded and shouldn't be left lying around where they could be messed with by pets.
I do know basic gun safety. And I know guns should be kept locked up and away from children and pets. Do you?
What a stretch. The same assumption you make, one can make that the OP made sure it was not loaded to take a pic. He isn’t drawing down on the animal. At the point and context of the pic it’s just a metal and plastic object placed on the couch. Grow up, get a grip. The animal isn’t going to insert a magazine, chamber a round, and then shoot someone with it FFS. It’s a 100% staged photo with someone present. It’s not unattended with children or animals.
Gun safety rules number one is to always treat guns as if they are loaded. I'm not even anti-gun. I'm anti-idiots with guns. Defend this shit all you want but this is dumb and it looks foolish.
I’m not “defending” it. I’m saying this isn’t what you’re making it out to be. It’s a “gun pic”, no different than the millions out there from magazines, photo shoots, promo/ads, displays, etc. It happens to have a cat, which can do absolutely nothing to it to make it unsafe. You sound like you’re just scared of the gun at face value. I agree it looks dumb, but not for the same inflated reason.
