Why in the world do people think they have to stick things like pens and shotgun shells and all other manner of things into the trigger guard of a gun when they are photographing it? Is there something I'm missing? What is it they're aiming to achieve?

I think they're trying to get it to stand up rather than just laying flat on a surface so as to provide more of a 3D effect.

This places the gun in a better position to be photographed. It gives it the third demension which is lost if you lay it flat. It also has to do with the angle the gun and other things are being photographed. At least that's why I do it that way.

however, doesnt that violate the rule that nothing goes in the trigger guard except your booger hook when youre ready to fire!

It is only unsafe if someone else breaks the rules.

Oh, I see, that's how it works.

Why do people stick oily rags into the trigger gaurd to wipe and clean the trigger...?

That breaks the rules too?

Booger-hook. Still cracks me up as an old man.

I only do that when my gun is disassembled.
