While that is a common error, the bigger error would be to dive with that gun again! If the trigger (or trigger design) can't be trusted NOT to release the gun is unsafe and should not be used. JBLs fail by NOT firing when you want them to. Some others tell you when they fail by releasing the shaft at a random moment. One costs you a fish, the other is just flat dangerous.
