During a draw from concealment, which practice helps prevent negligent discharge?

• A. Keep finger on the trigger during the draw.
• B. Finger outside the trigger until sights are aligned.
• C. Rushing without checking surroundings.
• D. Holding the firearm with two hands on the trigger.

Answer: (B)

Trigger discipline during a concealment draw is the key idea. Keep the finger off the trigger until sights are aligned and you are ready to fire. This prevents a negligent discharge if something snags or you unexpectedly move during the draw. Once you have a secure grip, a clear sight picture, and identified target, you bring the firearm to the ready and place the finger on the trigger to fire with deliberate pressure. The other practices would increase the risk of an unintentional or misdirected discharge and undermine safe handling.
