Dear Deputy: Standing In Front Of The Gun Is Not A Good Idea

By Bob Owens | 7:28 PM | September 04, 2014

Breitbart.com covers the story of a Texas border county teaching residents how to defend themselves from home invasions committed by criminal aliens sneaking in over our poorly defended southern border with Mexico. That’s all well and good from what I picked up in the headline, but I couldn’t get to the actual article to read it.

You see, I can’t get past the picture at the top of the article where the deputy is apparently teaching shooting positions with real weapons in a block-wall enclosed office building hallway…

…while standing in front of the shooters.

I really hope that there is more to this story than it appears, and that deputy is not actually standing in front of a line of shooters with both of his hands on a firearm that is pointing towards his chest.

Someone please tell me I’m not actually seeing this.

Pretty please?
