Pat Riot Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Perhaps Rye can tell because it appears that the extractor is flush with the side of the bolt? At least that is how it looks to me when I blow up the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc McCoy, SASS #8381 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This guy reminds me of when I was in Peace Corps in Guatemala in the 70s. The Army had soldiers stationed as bank guards. I saw lots of unique firearm handling. One soldier had his index finger in the muzzle of the vertical shotgun and was tapping the butt on the floor. We learned not to make any assumptions about stuff. Like how well maintained was the sear. Was it loaded? Was it chambered? Or did he even have any ammo. We saw a pair of guards once, one guy was wearing the empty holster and the other guy had the pistol in his belt. Etc. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks - I don't subscribe to "assume" - I will"treat" every weapon as if it is loaded - Plus this idiot's act is not good representation/presentation of proper and responsible gun handling.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 True I agree it's not a good representation of safe gun handling..... I do agree! I'm guess I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt!! All I'm saying the gun will NOT go off if it's not chambered and the trigger is not pulled.

Ramblin Gambler Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Looks to me like a case of gun violence. This shotgun is clearly robbing the police officer. It's aimed where it is in part because the shotgun's legs are short, but also because cops don't wear kevlar on their bottoms. Wait ... do they?
