    Someone on here said something like trigger discipline wasn’t really a thing until the late 80’s. Which sounds right somehow. All the cop shows and westerns before that, they ran around holding the trigger.

    This is in the 20’s right? So my man is just being period-accurate, which is highly logical.

      Secondly, even in real life, gun ownership isn’t a thing in modern societies, only in backward third world countries

      If the majority of modern humans don’t know what trigger discipline is, why would Spock?

        Because they still have guns in Star Trek, and Spock and his crewmates carry them all the time? Those TOS phaser pistols don’t even have trigger guards, so it’d be logical to think trigger discipline would still be a thing.
