Back in the day “pull the trigger” usually meant fire the gun or some other mechanism or something to do with Roy Rogers horse. Today “pull the trigger” almost always means you or someone you know just bought a piece of gear via the Internet.
You know who you are…and yes I’m guilty. Recently I pulled the trigger and bought a new piece of gear. It was one of the finest pieces of gear I have ever owned…it sat inside my house for three full days and never went outside…it felt like it had been custom made just for me and the craftsmanship was superb. I had wanted it for two years; the simple fact is I did not need it. So I pulled the trigger again, this time at the local Post Office and returned it…unused…I have no regrets.
