However, I must point out that she is carrying the shotgun improperly.

One should properly carry the gun with the butt over the shoulder and hold it by the barrel. Thereby ensuring that you have control of where and at whom the muzzle points.

And also so you don't whack somebodys expensive new toy in their expensive new wood stock they just had fitted, or worse whack them in the head with the muzzle (very painfull!)

Really folks, I don't make this stuff up,having been both whacked on the head and having my barrels dinged by persons slinging their barrels over their shoulder.
