Warning: If your children are sitting with you and you don't want them to hear foul language, or see stupidity in action, send them away.

There is currently a movement taking place within certain parts of the gun community (I've actually listened to a firearms instructor telling someone to do this) that says you have a quicker reaction time if you practice placing your finger on the trigger the second your pistol comes out from its holster.
