ALWAYS assume the gun is loaded

@Stonekettle



ALWAYS assume the gun is loaded

ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction

ALWAYS use the proper ammo, holster, and accessory equipment.

Tucking a gun into your elastic waistband violates all of these rules and illustrates AGAIN why these people should NOT have guns

You're correct that we shouldn't make broad observations about someone from a single picture.

However, the woman posed for the photograph. The pistol, whether it's real or not, is meant to represent a gun. To think otherwise is naive or disingenuous. She's trying to look tough.

She just looks stupid, though, and if the pistol is real, she's putting herself in needless danger.

.... that is why Fux Nooz brought her on board. She is a Fascist blonde bimbo who's explicit intent is to excite and advance extreme right wing causes.

Nazis should be ridiculed and totally disregarded each and every chance we get. Especially in today's political climate. Push the Nazis back into the dark caves from which they slithered.

Leprosy is not a good thing. Leprosy should not be welcomed with open arms and given a chance to equally express itself and prove it's worth. We do not have to reinvent the wheel on this issue. We know the destination and the end result. Leprosy is a terrible disease that needs to be eradicated and snuffed out before it infects all of us.

Fascism like leprosy needs to be watch out for and contained or it will infected and debilitate a large portion of our society while we nurse it's horrific result as we attempt to heal and repair the damages brought by this disease. Stop leprosy and stop Fascism before they gain solid footing in our society. Be vigilant and keep them in check without reservations. Rampant sickness and disease is the last thing we want or need in our society.

Democracy is currently gasping for it's last breath - hugging, coddling, and giving equal time for expression of viewpoints to Nazis is a fool's errand.

You mean, assuming it is loaded and has one in the chamber and is cocked and the safety is off?
Seems like a lot to assume.
She is certainly not the poster girl for gun safety but without knowing more about the firearms state I can't say more about it with out some broad jumps.

The have been numerous tales of people firing guns they thought were not loaded. Terry Kath, the original guitarist from the band Chicago is but one example of many of someone who killed themselves or someone else with an "unloaded" handgun.

Would you tuck a loaded pistol into your pants like that?

But if I had checked the chamber was empty myself I would have no problem taking a picture like that if for some reason I decided to.

People get killed with guns they "assume" weren't loaded but didn't do a proper check of the firearm themselves, mostly idiots who pull the magazine but don't check the chamber. Bad training in firearm safety.

I'm not into guns myself but I've always heard that one should assume a gun is loaded until they've secured it.

My point is that guns are not toys. They're deadly serious machines designed for specific purposes. Posing for a "tough-girl" selfie seems irresponsible.

Sorry, but wishing that the fool shot herself is a natural human response to her action. Although her shooting herself in the vagina was bad, that would likely kill her instead of prevent procreation (well, maybe being dead does prevent procreation, if someone does not clone Tomi, which is an unrelated scary thought). Honestly, if she had shot herself in a foot, I would not have cared after what she did.

I am sure that if one of us lost half our body, the only acknowledgement that she would give it is to point out how stupid we were for losing half our body and how much a burden we will be on society if we somehow survive. I can't have compassion for a person who HAS demonstrated such tendencies.

Despite the "best intentions" of those who run around preaching love and tolerance (well, actually, pointing fingers with a snotty holier-than-thou attitude) for these absolutely absymal excuses for humanity, I save my compassion for people who actually deserve it.

Tomi is a worthless airhead with absolutely nothing to contribute who profits off the stupidity of others; enduring a handgun accident for that stupid photograph would merit no sympathy from me.

The finger waggers here remind me of the preachy squirrel from The Simpsons:

...while they tug and fumble with their sweaty, clinging clothes out of the way to get to the holster while there's a robbery in progress?
Unless that "holster" is lined with leather, or those pants are at least a size larger than the fashionable hip-hugging tight, it's not going to be an easy draw.
Also, after two or three washings, that concealed carry is going to start pulling the waistband of those yoga pants down around the "kitty", as it were.
