Your trigger finger must be kept off the trigger until when?

You have identified your target
You are actually ready to shoot
You are in a safe location
You have permission to fire

The correct answer is: You are actually ready to shoot

It's important to keep your finger off the trigger until you are actually ready to shoot for safety reasons. Option A is incorrect because simply identifying your target is not enough to justify pulling the trigger. Option C is incorrect because even if you are in a safe location, you should only pull the trigger when necessary. Option D is incorrect because having permission to fire does not necessarily mean that your finger should be on the trigger, as you may not actually be ready to shoot.
