<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nOf course, you’ve read that Dakota Meyer, a former Marine sergeant and a Medal of Honor recipient has declared his intentions to marry into the Palin family. Well, apparently, he’s also marrying into the histrionics of the Leftist media that swirls around that family, as well. The UK’s Daily Mail<\/a> and Raw Story<\/a> have published a picture from his Instagram account that shows him playing with a toddler while a gun rests on the table “next to them”;<\/p>\n The outspoken fiance of Bristol Palin can be seen playing with a newborn baby in a Instagram photo as a gun sits next to them on a side table.<\/p>\n Former Marine Dakota Meyer is holding the baby, identified as Rowan, with his gun by his side.<\/p>\n ‘Just love the fact that there is a pistol laying on the little table behind you,’ wrote one person on the post.<\/p>\n ‘That’s just how we roll haha,’ joked Meyer. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Of course, the narrative is that Dakota is a gun nut and that it’s irresponsible for him to have a hand gun in the same room (maybe the same house) with a toddler. But the gun is clearly out of reach of the child, and upon closer examination, the magazine for the 1911-style handgun has been removed – it’s chamber is probably empty as well.<\/p>\n I think if the media thinks that they can chase Dakota around and stir up controversy about him, they’re going to get a life lesson. The Marine sergeant doesn’t seem to take any shit from anyone. The Inquisitr<\/a> feels a need to tell us about the laws in Kentucky where Myers resides;<\/p>\n In Kentucky, the state from which Dakota Meyer hails, it is legal to openly carry a gun even without a permit or license.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As if any of this is relevant. None of the three articles about this photo bother to point out that the pistol is cleared and unloaded and so it’s as dangerous to the health and welfare of the child as that lamp on the table. <\/p>\n Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.<\/p>\n![\"She](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/She-said-300x281.jpg\")
