This guide, based on instruction from Ted at Line45, focuses on critical handgun carrying mistakes. It emphasizes that negligent discharges often occur during seemingly safe actions like drawing and reholstering due to complacency. The core principle is maintaining strict trigger discipline, keeping the finger indexed along the frame until sights are on target and a decision to fire is made.
