That’s TTAG contributor Alan Brooks on the right, above, who had just taken one for the team by covering Saturday’s SXSW anti-gun confab (read his full account of all the fun here). And we bet you know who that is on his right.

Obviously wanting something to hand down to his grandchildren, Alan used his prodigious powers of persuasion to convince Bloomberg sock puppet and Moms Demand Action gun-grabress-in-chief Shannon Watts to pose for a happy snap.

The best part: Shannon didn’t know Alan was packing at the time. And somehow the gun didn’t break loose and shoot anyone. Eat your heart out, Dirk.
