HV is correct. I used to see officers get reprimanded for this infraction during qualification frequently. I even used to see it periodically during PPC matches with guys that were regular shooters.High Velocity wrote:You might be surprised at the number of people I have shouted at for having their finger in the trigger guard when it shouldn't be.

How did this guy get to be Chief not knowing the BASIC safety rules?
You will find that many Chief's in major metro areas are 99% administrative. They 'might' have qualified with their weapons once or twice a year at most per the departments requirement, and are probably not active shooters. This means they tend to forget proper firearms handling and other safety factors (not that that is an excuse.)
