UK's Prince Edward demonstrates gun safety, royal-style

zwiebel · Nov 30, 2014

Prince Edward has found himself the target of some flack himself, after a shooting session at Sandringham. A photographer caught pictures of him seeming to point a shotgun directly over his seven-year-old son James' head, and firing. This doesn't exactly accord with good safety practise, according to most gun experts.

The Palace says the perspective of the photos is misleading.

Taken from my link above:

'Six years ago Edward was seen reacting violently when two black labradors appeared to grab a dead pheasant during a shoot on the Queen’s estate.

Photographs showed him rushing at the animals with his shotgun tucked under his arm and a 4ft stick raised in the air.

He could then be seen bringing it down several times towards them, but it was not clear whether the prince actually hit either of the dogs.

The RSPCA investigated the incident, but announced there would be no prosecution as there was ‘insufficient evidence’ to support the allegation that he mistreated the animals.'
