At first I thought he was a divorcee just trying to get his dog back but now that I know he's a divorcee spending time with his daughter I like the story even more.

He is actually part of the turkish gendarmerie which is notorious for oppressing minorities in turkey

So Turks just like to shoot with their hands in their pockets, I guess?

I think that's just how the shooting stance works. Hooking your hand in your pocket prevents it from moving and messing with your aim.

They're only allowed to use one hand, so the competitors always have their off hand tucked in or hooked onto their clothes so that arm can be relaxed and ignored.
