trigger discipline

Holding a gun while keeping one's finger away from the trigger. The opposite of finger on trigger.

Characters doing so will usually have their trigger finger resting on the trigger guard or body of the firearm, so as to avoid an accidental trigger pull.

This tag does not apply when:

• The character has their finger on the trigger on inside the trigger guard.
• the character is holding the gun by someplace other than the main grip (e.g. by the barrel or carry handle)

It is possible for someone dual wielding to practice trigger discipline with one hand and not the other, e.g. post #1188474.
