    He's pointing it at the sort of bird, shotgun shooters are a bit thick at the best of times

    Please tell me that is a trick of perspective or something..?

    If it isn't, who put on the event? Your work, or was it organised by one of those office activity/Team Exercise 99 type crowds? Or did one of your coworkers just happen to have a shottie and a thrower and said ''let's smash some clays"?

    I'm not kidding.

    It was run by the venue I believe.

    It's not a trick photo. Exactly how it looks is how it is.

    Well first of all I'd never start any one with a semi! Even with an extended mag
    Always a double...then when it's broken it's safe!
    In there defence we can't see if the breach is locked open...
    I've zoomed in on the trigger and can't see a finger on the trigger...
    So it looks bad yes! But is it?

    I'm making the assumption the person in the photo knows the firearm is unloaded, there's no ammo nearby and it surreptitiously hasn't been loaded. So while it doesn't look good, the situation is in fact perfectly safe.

    Because it's just a photo, I wasn't there, the perspective could be out and I wouldn't want jump to wrong conclusions

    Reality vs theory, it's always a fascinating discussion !

    Pretty common with shotguns, only way to really make sure the fit of the shotgun. Just have to make sure it is not loaded!

    Nothing is wrong with the picture. It's about context.
