Please, take a moment and realize, that this guy THOUGHT he was going to be OK
During the runup to Desert Storm a USMC lieutenant was teaching a class on the model 1911. To demonstrate the out of battery safety he shoved a loaded gun hard against his head. Yep, he died.
That incident is in Gen'l. Schwartzkoph's book.

An 'accident' occurs when there are unforeseen consequences of engaging in an activity. Being struck by an asteroid while mowing the grass would be an example. When the foreseeable occurs while engaged in a known dangerous activity, it's not an accident. Losing ones fingers by placing them under the deck of a running lawn mower would be an example of that.
Anyone injuring themselves in this fashion, has no one to blame but themselves.
Accidents are just that. A random occurrence of events that has no foreseeable outcome. Shooting oneself in this manner is stupidity, not accidental.
I see my effort to be tactful was wasted. Let me put it a little less delicately then.Where did you read that someone else was being blamed?
Actually, this is still a type of accident that most gun owners would call being negligent. We talk about "accidental discharges" which are due to mechanical issues and not the result of the trigger being pulled and "negligent discharges" when the trigger is pulled and the gun discharges unexpectedly.
He DID shoot someone else.... The bullet, upon exiting his arm, then passed thru the arm of a bystander and then entered his gut and lodged in the small intestine.
Texas huh, I wonder if "Here, hold my beer and watch this" was heard prior to the gunshot.
