Thankfully this is just art, because that has to be some of the worst trigger discipline I have ever seen. If a real person had taken a photo doing this, I would hope their weapons were confiscated forever, along with their priveleges of ever owning one again. With a finger resting on the trigger like that and where the gun is pointing, if the weapon isn't cleared, that's a major accident waiting to happen.

To anyone reading this: Even if the weapon is cleared, you should always treat a gun as if it is loaded and there is an invisible goes-through-walls obliteration death ray coming out of the barrel. Never point a gun, loaded or not, at anything you don't intend to immediately and instantly destroy. Especially never point a gun at yourself or another human whether it is loaded or not. Guns are fun to shoot, but they are not toys. Be responsible and safe.

While you're right in principle - I think you're taking the art too seriously, or just didn't get it.

Its art, I know it's not real. I actually think it's a really well done artwork.

I'm just really passionate about being safe and responsible around guns. Too many idiots post real life pictures like this online (usually with the weapon loaded like they're competing for the Darwin Award), and if my comment makes even one person doing that think twice, then it did its job.
