I hate to see this sort of stuff. I am a range employee and I try to be very conscious of my customers. That is not to say that AD's do not happen...we have had three in the time that I have worked there--about 4 1/2 years. And while I am not condoning what happened, when you work around firearms that much you may have the tendency to let familiarity lead to complacency. I think this is a good reminder that we should all be alert--especially employees in ranges--that the main safety is between the users ears, and it appears in this case that the "safety was off" and the finger on the trigger.

I'm not employed at a range, but I volunteer as a RSO once a week.

I don't believe in Accidental Discharge. It's nearly always a Negligent Discharge. I guess it's the way you look at it. This was negligent. Loading a live round at a gun shop anyplace but on the range with the pointy end going down-range qualifies it. Unpleasant results from that point inherit the same description.
