The trigger should not be touched at any other time. When using the trigger to de-cock the firing mechanism, it should always be done b efore the line is called safe to go forward with the firearm aimed at the designated target as though it was loaded. Pulling the trigger to check the function of the safety should also only be done during live fire and before the line is called safe with the firearm aimed as though it was loaded.
