Is the barrel of that rifle the kid is pointing at his father even legal length?

The muzzle of the rifle is pointed behind the father. If the father were to move towards his son, his elbow would be touching the fore-grip of the rifle. This is also determined by the size of the stock compared to the size of the barrel (thus making the barrel look short) but looking at the stock and scope, that barrel is standard 22-24" in length. The photograph has what almost looks like "pin cushion effect". the picture is just misleading at the angle it was taken, but funny none the less.

I looked at that pic Sunday in the news paper myself. And the gun is pointed behind the Father. The boy should be holding his rifle with he's hands not he's sweat shirt! The first pic on here looks like it is off an computer and taken with a cell phone at an angle. Making it look like he is aiming it at he's Dad!

Kinda funny how anyone can justify carry a rifle like that with a person next to them is unbelievable! That situation is a recipe for disaster.

I'm no expert but I do teach hunter safety classes and this would not be acceptable to me. I really wouldn't care if it is pointed at his fathers shoulder or 2 feet behind him. If you're responsible enough to carry a gun you're responsible enough to come prepared with gloves and appropriate clothing. It doesn't send a good message.

Two inches behind him or two feet, it's pointed in his general direction. Why not put it over his shoulder? It's basic gun safety, don't point you gun in an unsafe direction.

That kid has no control over that gun!
#1 - A quick turn to his right and that gun is pointed right at dads chest.
#2 - with his hands inside his coat, how does he go about gripping it. If he were to trip and fall who knows how that gun ends up.
That's a poster for how NOT to carry a firearm for sure
It's always an adventure!!!
