To many people not knowledgeable with firearms, "accident" implies "the gun went off". You and I both know that pretty much doesn't happen, but John Q. Public watching Monday Night Football doesn't know that, and Janet Public almost certainly doesn't. That why I favor the "negligent discharge" term so much; it makes it obvious that a someone is at fault.

I continue to see at the firing range, careless handling techniques and safety issues. When you know safe handling, you know when you see unsafe handling.
My priarie dog hunting buddies i trust. I have fired 14000 rounds in two summers and they as much. In our group we have fired 100,000 rounds in two summers. We practice safety safety safety all the time.
