I agree, except with 58 years in my case.

If the gun went off without the trigger being pulled, such as when it was closed, there was a problem other than the gun not having intercepting sears. I have witnessed people accidentally firing a shotgun when they closed it more than once. They would look embarrassed and blame it on the gun, but it was poor gun handling nearly every time.

Finger outside the triggerguard until ready to shoot, is my mantra.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
