Gun Safety Finger Off The Trigger. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Keep finger off trigger until ready to shoot.
Never pull the trigger on any firearm with the safety on the “safe” position or anywhere in between “safe” and “fire.” it is possible that the gun can fire at any time, or even later when you release the safety, without you ever touching the trigger again. Don’t load your firearm until on the firing line and ready to shoot. When handling a gun, rest your finger outside the trigger guard or along the side of the gun.
Unload the gun if not used.
If the gun is in a case or holster, keep your hands off of the gun, as well as the trigger, until ready to shoot. If the gun dropped directly on the backplate, the trigger would have to move all the way to the break and exceed the spring force and break point force to fire. Don't touch the trigger until you are actually ready to fire. Secondary dangers 1) noise 2) hot gases and debris 3) toxins and pollutants 4) misfires 6.
