bbedward Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I don't see the big deal since it was broken down and clearly not posing a threat. If it wasn't in the breakdown state then it would be lack of gun safety IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbluhm86 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 It's not that big a deal since its clearly unloaded, but the proper form is to carry it so the barrel points downwards, and not aimed backwards towards others. Just a little bit of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 His gun handling isn't that bad given it is broken down. He could take Uncle Joe's advice and blast holes in doors without identifying what is behind it haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Fan Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Pretty standard "rest position" for big bird hunts. Especially with over/unders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 clearly unloaded... I don't do that... to me, it's bad form, even when hunting with friends who all know we've unloaded our guns. Or, haven't loaded them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 It seems like it would put stress on the gun above his shoulder, potentially damaging the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbluhm86 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 It seems like it would put stress on the gun above his shoulder, potentially damaging the gun. It should be fine, as long as nobody tries to pull on the end of the shotgun hanging over his shoulder with any appreciable amount of weight. It's just not the ideal form to carry it that way.

MLD Woody Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 The thumbnail for the video below makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 The guy in the background of the gif is doing it the same way, so I'm guessing it's not *that* outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
