I see your concern and like others have said the weapon should be cleared,and recleared after leavuing your sight,IE going to the bathroom and coming back out,Murphy might of loaded it when you weren't looking.I'm so concerned about a ND that even when I field strip my guns I clear them,then check chamber again and then before I pull the trigger check again.

I would hope that Darwin isn't at work with the propped up guns but safety dictates the outcome.

I'll ask my wife to make sure she puts on tennis shoes before snapping pics in the future

Placing an ink pen, marker, wood dowel, or shotgun shell into the trigger guard and resting a gun on the item to take a photo of the gun. Isn't this just as dangerous as a finger on the trigger? Maybe more so, your finger has nerves telling you your pressing it, and that the trigger is moving, the dowel has no feed back, less control.

Suppose you trip while reaching for the gun after taking the picture, you end up catching your fall by pushing down on the gun. If its loaded it's going off. (And all guns are loaded, aren't they?)

I suggest that there is really no reason to be placing an item of any kind into a trigger guard. Take the picture with the gun laying flat on the table.

A little over critical IMHO......

I guess I will put a disclaimer below my pic next time to ease this kind of anxiety. Of course the gun is unloaded......if it was loaded I wouldn't be messing with it to take a pic.

Lets not insult the intelligence or safety concerns of our members .....like I see all to often around here

Edit: I guess the next topic of yours should be that we shouldn't refer to getting new firearms as getting/picking a new toy, or the like.

LOL I do that also...and still get butterflies (I'll just check one more time) when I have to pull the trigger (Wait!! I'll check just one more time) to release the slide....heh.

Are these the same people who run back into the house to double check the stove 3 or 4 times? I am all for checking and all firearms should be treated as loaded but come on, lets give ourselve some credit.
