Yes, they do. I don't think anyone here thinks the gun going off was intentional. But that doesn't automatically make this an accident. Putting that live round in the weapon was wrong, flat out and simple.
Negligent.
The entire chain of events begins with that act and therefore it's not accidental, it's negligence.
Accidents are normally like that, but we all see them as accidents because we all know that 'But for the grace of G*d, there go ourselves" and we overlook acts that if viewed with harsh reality would not be accidental at all, but somebody being an idiot.
In this case I can't overlook the act of loading a weapon in the store. Whatever the reason, there are alternatives to using live ammunition and the outright lack of common sense and rule breaking goes too far.
I don't wish the clerk ill, but at a minimum he should be fired and made to make restitution to the family and to the shop owner who will ultimately end up paying the bills.

I wasn't talking about the clerk when I said "accident's do happen." I was talking about my husband. If you notice, I put it in the same paragraph that I told you about how my husband dropped the gun. His was an accident. ;)
I agree that the clerk should be fired and he should pay all the medical bills.
