Where should you keep your finger until ready to shoot?

On the trigger
Outside the trigger guard
Inside the trigger guard
On the safety lock

The correct answer is: Outside the trigger guard

It is important to keep your finger outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot because it minimizes the chances of an accidental discharge. Keeping your finger on the trigger or inside the trigger guard could result in accidentally pulling the trigger and firing your weapon. On the other hand, keeping your finger on the safety lock makes it difficult to quickly and efficiently shoot your weapon in a high-stress situation. Therefore, keeping your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot is the safest and most effective option.
