You are
probably right, but the big issue here is her right index finger. I grew up with the shooting sports. I have both military and law enforcement training in firearms. There is one absolute to firearm safety that is common to every aspect of their use whether target, hunting, defense, or combat:
"Keep your booger hook off of the bang switch!" Anyone who handles a firearm with their finger on the trigger when they are not actually firing the weapon is demonstrating their ignorance of firearm safety. This is particularly ironic in this case because the whole reason for photos like this is to demonstrate what a sportsman and gun enthusiast she is.
Fail.
