"hi Adam

Thats exactly what I was taught. The reply about the gun being safe missed the point entirely.+1 matt_hooks
"Never, never let your gun
Pointed be at anyone.
That it may unloaded be
Matters not the least to me."
Mr Gain, the problem isn't the cameraman stepping in front of the lens, it's the clear depiction of them pointing the rifle at the bloke that is an issue.
A gun should NEVER point at anything you don't want to shoot, unloaded or not. There are times when it's acceptable to stand in front of the muzzle, for example when coaching, but only when the person stepping in the firing line has assured themselves physically that the weapon is unloaded.
The "look at us, aren't we zany" attitude displayed doesn't seem to bode well for general gun safety, and is a very poor example to set. No amount of "lines put in saying and showing the rifle to be safe" will persuade me otherwise.
But at all times think this:
"All the pheasants ever bred
Won't repay for one man dead."
