Everyone's commenting on the fact that he has his finger on the trigger, but trigger discipline wasn't a popularized concept at the time of this photo, and possibly wasn't even being taught by the military yet. Not to mention the fact that he's not at a range, or in a safe situation. He was literally protecting his life, expecting an attack at any point. He's ready to fight. He wasn't being paranoid, considering he was eventually assassinated.
