Will not be shopping here

The whole trigger discipline thing is a load of over hyped internet crap. never heard of it till 10 or so years ago. Ive been around shooting and guns my entire life and have never witnessed or heard of an AD or ND due to someone having their finger inside the guard. It was SOP while on patrol, be cognitive of what your doing at all times,ESPECIALLY when you are holding a firearm. If you cant then don't even touch or handle a firearm

Every posed picture taken while I was in the Corps has someone with their finger on the trigger, along with WWII era pics you never saw the straight "look at how safe I am" finger

Cooper has been dead since 2006 and you didn't hear about trigger discipline until ten years ago? Ok Sarge.

And you've never heard of someone having an AD with their finger in the trigger guard? Really? I'm willing to bet that the majority of them have indeed involved a trigger press.

Fingering the trigger when you don't plan to shoot is just stupid and unsafe. Remind me to stay clear of you at future group shoots.

No, I got it. If you're a hard assed marine its ok to finger fuck your firearm whenever you want because you exhibit an incredible level of awareness and perfect control over your body and environment, so simple safety measures like a straight finger are only for nancy boy pussies who probably shouldn't be holding a gun in the first place.

His point was the "be cognitive of what you're doing" part, hence why I suggested you read it again.

One can be cognizant while also not acting carelessly. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Amen. When I was in the Marines 50+ years ago, we learned no booger hooks on the trigger and the firearm on safe while on patrol and ambushes in RVN.
Not so sure about what the current crop of crayon eaters do in "posed pictures".

Ooh I know. The Shadow knows.

If we were to shop only at gun stores that had customers that practice appropriate gun safety we wouldn’t shop at gun stores. Every store has at least one idiot.

Usually when I am there.

I see what you did there. Rodney Dangerfield. Why do you suppose nobody has mentioned the two guys we’re in black face? To me that’s much worse than the gun handling. After all those guns could be empty.

Do I win dumbest thing said in the thread?

You’re too smart for that.
