No nail gun professional or not should fire a nail when the trigger is pulled. They all require the safety being depressed and then the trigger engaged. Some are set for bump firing but even so the safety if properly operating still needs to make contact with the work. Has someone bypassed the safety? also when transporting NEVER keep your finger on the trigger.
Professional-grade varieties are automatic, and fire a nail directly upon pulling the trigger. A semi-automatic nail gun is more appropriate for beginners, since it requires a two step process: pull the trigger and then tap the barrel against the wood. This safety feature protects the user from accidentally firing a nail gun and injuring himself or others.
