NOLA Mayor Ray Nagin Violates Rules of Safe Gun Handling


Updated: Sunday, Feb. 17, 2008, 8:26 pm -- There is a caption contest for this pic over on columnist Michelle Malkin's blog. Some of the better entries so far:

“Next Hurricane we can just blast the levee’s with these!”

"Go Ahead, bring up those buses one more time…."

"Let’s play Die Hard, I get to be Bruce Willis."

*********

If you haven't seen the picture, it will shock you.

Another politician, playing with guns for the camera but not having a clue what he is doing and violating Gun Safety Rule No. 1 -- "ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction." Controversial New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is looking gleeful and appearing to point a competition rifle directly at Police Superintendent Warren Riley while Riley holds a similar firearm.

The photograph was snapped while both men were on the floor of the Superdome viewing a collection of new equipment to be used largely for the city's SWAT team.
