I just though Navy SEALs were trained to keep their booger hooks off the bang switch, is all.

I've seen soldiers in Vietnam who kept their fingers under the trigger guard, not sure if that was a training procedure though. And FBI Agents were taught to draw their Glocks like that because of the long trigger pull. The accidental discharge was known as "Glock Foot" because you typically lost a toe when you made this mistake.
