this has to be a reenactment? they did not rest their trigger finger or were trained to rest trigger fingers until the '90's... in vietnam and in ww2 your finger was firmly on the trigger in any patrol.
@MrLesliedoll I was there for two years with the Cav. We always either cuped the triger guard or placed our triger finger across the triger guard. Never had finger on the triger until it was time to rock and role.
Back in the 5th grade in 1970 the teacher said we could each vring a 45 for the clas to hear. I brought in the Animals "Sky Pilot"Most of the snobbing rich kids had criticize me for it.They came from families protesting the war. i was just neutral. My dad wanted me to be a naval piot. I wished i pursued it. Fuck the peace loving assohloe classmates. I am now home from Iraq. Them kids are so distant it feels like an old black and white!
In 4th grade ('68) we did the same thing. I brought the 45 rpm "Susie-Q" ...My dad's record. The teacher ran and pulled the needle off the record as soon as it started sounding "questionable"...
