[[holding gun|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 [[gun|firearm]], so as to avoid an accidental trigger pull.

This tag does [i]not[/i] apply when:

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