The Mrs. and I went to my company’s Christmas Totally-Non-Offensive-And-Completely-Secular Holiday party on Saturday. They had a little booth where you could take instant pictures and email / Facebook them right there. They had silly props for everyone to use and it was a lot of fun. I, of course, was drawn to these babies
Later, looking at the picture, I noticed that even though I was clearly handling orange, plastic guns, I automatically kept my finger outside of the trigger guard.
I almost broke my thumb trying to open the cylinder to check for ammo.

So that's +1, times two, for trigger finger control, and minus several bazillion for the rest of the pose? ;)

I dunno Robb. I'm pretty sure a sword at your throat is a "finger on the trigger" type of situation.

I caught myself indexing on my caulking gun when getting ready for winter...
It's somewhat comforting to me to note that the habit is that ingrained.

You have to do it for chainsaws, too.

I bet it took a conscious effort to not avoid flagging somebody with an inert piece of plastic, too. :D
I've got a pair of those retractable 16" leashes for the schnauzers.
Took the little kraut hellions to the local preserve/park one afternoon with my dad. As we're wandering along letting the pups sniff and piss on everything they can reach my dad asked, "so why do you have your index finger pointing along the side like that?"
The stupid things don't even have triggers inside the grips. They use a thumb button to lock the lines.
Guess I've built one good habit in my life at least.

Robb, I have personally witnessed you doing the same thing with a staple gun, which isn't even gun shaped. I wouldn't be surprised if you unconsciously kept your finger off the trigger of an apple as you ate it.

I kind of figured the strained look on Robb's face was more "This seems like a total rule 2 violation!" than a "I'm going to pretend a really want to kill you because we're totally play acting here!"

No joke -- I once indexed on a banana, walking from the kitchen to my desk at work. Wouldn't want to ND that banana.
The standard-issue USMC War Face - it smoulders!
You don't scare me. Work on it...

You call that a War Face?! It is kinda cute but War Face? Umm, not so much.
