True. It is all in how it looks. But in context does it matter if I am holding a firearm up looking thru the pointy end or if someone else is holding it for me. 2 people ensuring the firearm is clear and safe.

If you think about it, an auto or pump will/should have the action open.
Double guns need to be shut.
I have seen this done plenty of times at sporting and clay target events.
And by competent English and Italian gunsmiths fitting guns in their booths overseas.

It looks bad and unnatural, I accept that, but it is a common practice.

If you know what you are looking for you can do it yourself in a mirror.

I would say if someone posted a pic of themselves looking thru a gun via the pointy end set up in a gun vice it would get a similar reaction on this thread.
