There is plenty wrong with that 'pose'. There's a magazine in the weapon, presumably loaded. Who has control of the weapon? NOT the inspector. OK in Swaziland maybe, but not at my range, or with any military establishment in this hemisphere, that I know of. The balance of yer post contradicts the first sentence.
Sorry for being a dick, but I am convinced that there is no such thing as an accident with a firearm. Always was, always will be. It's a principle with me. Negligence, whether personal or institutional is not an excuse, it's an indictment.
