An accident is something that could not be prevented.
If you see a coiled up electric cord on the stairs you should move it because it might cause an accident if somebody else trips over it.
If you don’t move it and somebody trips and gets hurt it wasn’t an accident because it could have been prevented by the person not leaving it there or you when you noticed.
In this case it was hot brass. Many, many shooters have had hot brass go unexpected places. But we don’t forget gun safty going after it.
Yep and sometimes a tire will blow out causing a car to swerve and hit another, but the driver is not charged for bad driving habits.
Again Common Sense, Something missing in this world must rule. If this was an Accident the mental torture of the father will outweigh anything man(laws) can do to him.
Pray for His Soul and the Soul of the Lost Child.
Oh one other item, you said “Many, many shooters have had hot brass go unexpected places. But we don’t forget gun safty going after it.”
Why did you not say All?
Which is it? On the one hand you say to move the electrical cord because it may cause an accident. Then you say if someone trips over the cord it is not an accident. So if I don’t move the cord the trip is not an accident which means if I move the cord I not have prevented an accident.
