Mine actually was on fire and trigger wouldn't pull. Pushed against safety a few times and still didn't work. As I moved gun and was putting it back on safety to examine what te issue was it fired.

Eta: finger looked to be in front of trigger guard. Simulated on nearby rifle and that's how my hand positioned

Yeah that's fricking scary. I don't believe I could ever keep a gun that did that to me. It would always be on my mind when I'm about to shoot. I get irate with ftf/fte, that would be another level of pissed.

IIRC, I pulled trigger on fire, nothing. Checked to make sure safety was off, saw that it was, and pushed it forward as hard as I could and nothing happened. Made sure the bolt was closed and still nothing. I touched the trigger (not pulling, just lightly placed my finger on it to find it) and it went off. I cleaned the mech real good and it seemed to dry fire fine. Then I ran some rounds through it this weekend and had issues ejecting. Time for a new rifle
