Watching your every move through a high-powered scope attached to a high-powered rifle. ...but in a good way.

I'll bet they don't chamber a round unless necessary.

Probably, they just use the scope to look around, when they confirm something they will chamber one. I can't imagine the shit storm if they accidently discharged a shot into the crowd..

#1) Indexing. You can see it in Pic 3.

#2) The Safety. No idea if military grade weapons even have a safety but I bet in a public setting they are using something that DOES have one.

Probably, they just use the scope to look around

Agree they probably have nothing in it until they see something, but he was just using the scope for the pics. You may also notice the absolutely massive binoculars. He would use those to glance around the stadium.

You can see the safety in what appears to be the middle position (able to chamber a round, but not actuate the trigger) in a couple of the pics.

It's in the hands of that person as much as it is any other law enforcement officer or someone in possession of any implement that could kill another person.

I don't see your point.

The game isn't much fun anyway when you're up in the nosebleed section so high you need a high-powered scope to see anything.

The stadium was not yet open when the pics were taken and the rifle never had a round in it that day. ONLY Binoculars were used for observation during the game and NOT the rifle!! It was only put into position to get the pictures of the form fit and function of the DCLW Tripod.

Looks like you're pretty irritated, given your increasingly inflammatory remarks. And the fact that you keep replying to me. I mean, if it didn't bother you, you wouldn't reply. You're only proving you're agitated by replying.

Butthurt is far from inflammatory. In fact, it is a commonly used word on many different forums, but you already know that... I mean, you're the one that used spam memes and use 4chan speak like a summerfriend all over SD until I called you out on it.

And the fact that you keep replying to me. I mean, if it didn't bother you, you wouldn't reply. You're only proving you're agitated by replying.

You're the one that insists on replying because you must think that having the last word means that you have successfully won every argument... and in most cases you're pretty good at winning, but not in this thread.

LOL, you're the one that's mad... shit, you even resorted to calling me old, panty wearing flawed, illogical thinker.

And just so you know, I turned 26 a few days ago and you're about 4 years younger than me. So yeah, I'm not that much older.

You may think you've got me, but you're not close, homeboy. Enjoy your buttpain.

Do you have to separate Money and Belongings because combined they are more important than your family?
