I intentionally avoided using either the words 'accidental' or 'negligent' in an attempt to prevent this thread from getting bogged down in that particular quagmire of an argument. ALSO because I'm interested not just in operator error but also parts breakage etc. If you look at the poll you will see that the range of responses encompasses ALL types of unintentional discharges, not just operator error.Stupidity. There are no "accidental" discharges. There are malfunctions and there are NEGLIGENT discharges. Unless your gun broke and caused it to go off, then you were doing something wrong when it happened. I, of course, include my own ND in this group. Just stupid, complacent, negligence...
