Finger off the trigger?

[Shisno]

For all the "finger off the trigger" Nazis, myself included, I present this picture of John Browning.

Does being a firearms genius exclude you from " finger off the trigger"?

Ill let JMB slide on that one.

What's next? You gonna write Noah a citation for not wearing a life jacket? For crying out loud man, that's John Moses Browning! He gets a 'walk' on the rules that govern mere mortal men!

[Bang]

Not from me. I hope my kids don't see it

Oh shit. Gave myself away.

[RXM]

He looks like a boss.

"That bitch better get back in the kitchen and make my ham sammich"

JMB circa when that picture was taken.

Do not blaspheme Saint John *bows head, sign of the cross* Moses Browning.

Great guns, the absolutely worst, horrible Customer Service and they DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS!

Oh, and when this picture was taken, did they have the idiot rules of gun safety?

Browning should have known better, but in Capt. Ira Reeves' book, published in 1913, 'The A B C of Rifle Revolver and Pistol Shooting', which chapter one is titled, 'The Danger in Handling Firearms', Reeves states that

the trigger should never be pulled until the identity of the thing fired at has been established beyond any doubt.

There was no mention of 'keeping your finger off the trigger until ...'. Col. Cooper restated this rule. Cooper was six when Browning passed away.

One can be a great inventor and still lack common sense.

Hasn't this been hashed out already years ago in the gun babes thread?
Maybe if JB were sporting a bikini while winking over his shoulder at the camera we could get past it????

And for the record the muzzle is pointed down and probably in a safe direction, so the redundancy of the three rules prevails.
