There was a case where a guy held up a liquor store. He was caught on camera. He was wearing a mask, but the cops could identify that he had his trigger finger along the frame of the gun. From that, the cops concluded that he had some type military training. I thought that was funny. I habitually put my finger on the frame if I'm not about to fire the gun. I have no military training.

Anyway, the rule of "Every gun is always loaded" is simple, easy to remember, and has kept me safe. That's the whole point. Admittedly, there is a moment when I am forced to break that rule when I disassemble my gun to clean. I deeply contemplate breaking the rule, and as I am pulling the trigger I feel like the gun will fire even after I checked it multiple times. I like that aspect of the rule as well. Placing my finger on the trigger is always a big deal, and I'm OK with that.
