Yes, exactly. Just the way that he'd say it; all drawn out...Come on, now. This is the memes thread. I believe you meant...

I don't know if it's recommended, but that is how I ran a bolt gun until I decided to shoot from the side where my dominant eye resides.

Don’t be a lefty.No, really; become ambi! Unless there is nerve or structural damage, neither side should be “weak.”
Shooting a long weapon is a two-handed task; both hands have something important to do. Handedness should be irrelevant, so, ideally, set-up the rifle for being shouldered on the same side as the dominant eye. I am right-armed, but left-handed, and happen to be left eye dominant. Handling a long gun felt more natural right-handed, in the beginning, but sighting was much more efficient and expedient in lefty mode, so, to optimize everything, I ended up shooting rifles mostly lefty.
The actor, in the movie clip, seemed to be switching eyes, and shooting with one eye closed. Any eye can become temporarily dominant, I reckon, if the other is closed, but I can only speculate whether the actor was lefty, or simply following the script. He was not running the bolt with consistent smoothness, and really needed to roll-up his left shirt sleeve, which fouled his smoothness-of-operation at least twice.
Be advised, following is rambling drivel:
FWIW, with a simple shotgun bead, or nicely blocky, prominent barrel-mounted iron sights, such as found on my Benelli M2, I can sight well enough from either shoulder, sometimes having to squint with the left eye, if shooting from my right shoulder. This is one reason I decided to let my patrol rifle cert/qual status lapse. With aperture sights, or optics, it is definitely better for me to shoot from the left shoulder, using my dominant eye, with both eyes open. The shotgun was a truly ambidextrous weapon, and I worked straight nights, when a shotgun was likely to be at no disadvantage. (Plus, policy dictated when a rifle could be in-hand, while on duty*, whereas I had full discretion when to have the shotgun in-hand.)
More than once, I considered ordering a set of AR15 open sights from D&L Sports.
OK, back to meme-ing.
*Duty was 24/7/365; personal-time self-defense was deemed line-of-duty.

Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.
