The man was bored so he went to the edge of the woods and decided to practice his draw and dry firing to improve his trigger control.

What do you think of this? |

The way I see this story, he moved away from the general spectator area to a place where people weren't. He then unloaded his gun and was practicing with an unloaded gun. Remember, it was dry firing and trigger control practice. Do you read something else?
If that's the case, and the muzzle was kept in the safest direction, what's the issue?

A lot of data is missing here.
Georgia is pretty good about toting, but we can't carry on school property or at sporting events.
Was the field on school property? Was he allowed to tote at the soccer field?
Also- was it after dark? If it was after dark, what would/
could happen if any of YOU were walking through that park? You round a corner in the trail, or pass a clump of trees and see a backlighted figure (from the soccer field) suddenly draw a handgun and snap it in your general direction.
Would you be tempted to put two or three quick ones in
center mass???
If it is daylight and you round that corner or pass that clump of trees, would you do any differently?
Open carry is NOT the issue here.
Stupidity is.
How do we know the weapon is fully cleared?
How do we know he isn't practicing for an assault on the field?
I'm all for toting. I do it a lot.
I DON'T pull it out till I'm taking it off or about to shoot something.
He's a moron, and he DOES make the non-gun people WONDER if we are all morons.
