Finger on the trigger.
Didn't expect any disciple. I'm surprised we haven't had a full escalation yet, as many potential accidents there must have been so far. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't pointing a gun at someone a last step before actually using it? As in, you should try every other tactic before getting that far, and don't use the fear of the gun as a device for compliance? Maybe I'm just naive.
For an ordinary citizen, pointing a gun is in fact “using it”
