The photo of an alleged firearms instructor pointing a pistol at the camera (and the photographer) is worse than stupid, it is outrageous.
The more so because the “instructor’s” finger is, Bog help us, on the trigger.

Although the photo was used to illustrate a story a couple of days ago, the picture itself was a file photo from 2005. Not that it would have been any smarter to take it back then, but at least we didn’t go out and shoot it last week: GBU Editor

It’s probably not loaded…
Probably, but I don’t see how that makes any difference at all…
anyone think the camera might have been triggered remotely?
