Why so shy? Trump blasts M-4 rifle at targets before meeting police – and even hits two bullseyes – but refuses to release a photo of himself armed at the range

Donald Trump fired off an M-4 rifle on Thursday as he took his 'law and order' appeal to a gun range at a North Carolina police lodge.

But his campaign team wouldn't release a photo he took with police officers who joined him at the shooting range, and individual officers weren't allowed to shoot their own pictures with the presidential candidate, an officer told DailyMail.com.
Early reviews are that Trump was right on target when he aimed and fired.

'He fired several shots. I saw two for-sure bullseyes. At the distance we were I couldn’t tell you there wasn’t more,' Ron 'Duck' Wyatt, the mayor of nearby Troutman told DailyMail.com.

'It was excellent marksmanship,' the former firearms instructor for police and civilians added.
Iredell County sheriff Darren Campbell vouched for Trump's skills while introducing the mogul to a supportive crowd of police officers. 'I gotta say this man can shoot,' he said.

"Blasts"...? Really...?

Why does the media have to sound so stupid. I guess I get that when they write an article or headline, they feel the need to get out a thesaurus, but "blasts" sounds so "Joe Biden-ish" to be taken seriously.

Media is out of touch with reality. I regularly read the term "packing heat" in news articles, but can't say I've heard any real gun owners use it! Even Hollywood has moved past using it but the media... not!

I heard it felt like a bazooka

High powered, military style, automatic, assault weapon. All words/phrases commonly used to describe ANY self loading long gun. Shameless ideologues.

Hm. Communications majors that I've met impressed me as those that held the curve lower in academics, so chose a career path that didn't require much upstairs. Apologies to any bright ones out there.

Buy a shotgun, buy a shotgun. Fire two blasts out the door.

Sorry, I have that song stuck in my head now.......

My sister was a communications major. She's now a cop.
