Kerry is the only one that knows how to carry a shotgun IMHO.

1. Better than the other photo.

The one the NRA is using in its ads. Kerry um, took his eye off the ball that time. Bad idea.

[zaj]

22. What photo?

Haven't seen it.

[phantom power]

2. I agree. broke open, and pointed at the ground

[papau]

7. My Dad would have knocked my head if it was not broke open, and pointed at

the ground!

But the guys with him head Ducks unlimited and some other hunting group - so are there new suggestions on safety that I do not know about?

[phantom power]

9. The others are OK, if you pay attention, don't fall over, etc.

But Kerry's technique is the most accident-proof, as far as I'm concerned.

3. Good point! You can bet if he'd been carrying it like the guy beside him

the NRA & the Pubs would have made a BIG DEAL out of it!

[louis-t]

4. Agreed. In every photo, he carries it correctly

I am convinced, given a gun, * would blow off his foot or some other non-essential body part.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. Heh!

:evilgrin: "some other non-essential body part." His head?

[Jasper 91]

5. I agree

His is the only rifle being carried in the correct manner . If he fell over , he wouldn't accidentally shoot anyone .

6. Bush sticks it where the sun don't shine.

[DrWeird]

8. Those other guys are SS, right?

If so, I'd be pretty sure they know how to handle firearms.

[BRLIB]

10. That's why you don't see Bush with a shotgun......

They're afraid of another "binoculars" fiasco!

[yorgatron]

11. if YOU were in the secret service would you

trust * with a loaded weapon?

[AmerDem]

12. I remember the only time I watched shrub use a shotgun

They showed him dressed in camo looking completely clueless. When he shot I sware he all but shit himself and actually looked a lil frightened but tried to laugh it off nervously. If someone could hunt down that clip it will be a refreshing laugh to everyone here.

[flobee1kenobi]

13. I think it was in F/911

Fired a shot, completely missed, turned around and prompted people to say "nice shot" and they complied

[AmerDem]

14. Thanks for refreshing my memory

We should try to get that clip out to everyone. As someone who has used guns my whole life that clip cracked me up, it was priceless. This is supposed to be the tough talking Marlborough man and he can't even ride a horse and is clueless and shit scared of a weapon.

Pathetic to max!

[Pirate Smile]

17. It was on CBS. He was laughing like a complete idiot. We need

to track that footage down.

[necso]

15. Kerry is a hunter, I understand.

Is that an over-under?

Picture is rather hazy.

[oldschoolguy]

16. Looks like an over/under..I love those.

[necso]

21. Yeah,

an over/under has a real clean profile.

Anybody know the exact make?

[Ksec]

18. I wonder what kind of shotgun that is? Ruger Red Label?

Browning Citori maybe?

[Arkana]

19. Is that Dean to his left?

No, seriously! It looks like him!

[oldschoolguy]

20. Bush+Texas Gov Race+Shotgun

I barely remember a funny story from the Texas Governor's race with bush and Ann Richards. (Anyone with a better memory please correct me).

Bush did a dove hunting photo-op one day during that campaign and got caught in an embarrassing situation. He shot what he thought was a dove and upon retrieving it, noticed that it actually wasn't a dove (pigeon I think). It was pretty funny for a couple of days. What was really funny is that Ann did a little hunting herself and really had fun with this in the press for a few days.

(I still can't believe she lost that election)

[Weembo]

27. Actually

It was a killdeer (PROTECTED)

[Lugnut]

28. IIRC it was a protected bird

I think it was a bird called a killdeer. Not sure if that's correct.

[KalicoKitty]

23. This idiot should not be allowed to have a shotgun!

[Ksec]

24. That Lab looks just like my Cody

[necso]

25. Nice looking dog.

Bet he is happy!
