Any time you have people handling guns, no matter how safe you try to be, and no matter how many safety procedures, there will be accidents.
Nonsense. When safety procedures are NOT followed is when negligence happens.
The negligent discharge of a weapon is not an accident.
I disagree.
It sounds as if you feel that even though there are rules for firearm safety, an accident is inevitable, no matter how safe you try to be.
Firearm accidents are completely and totally preventable. If one fastidiously follows the outlined rules, it cannot happen. It is pretty simple. Sure, there may be accidents due to equipment failure and such, but...I will bet money that if you look at how many gun accidents are caused by equipment failure versus failure to comply with the basic rules of gun safety, that the ratio would be 1000:1 or even 10,000:1. Or more.
Now, if you are saying that accidents are going to happen because dumb asses don’t follow safety rules...yes, we can agree on that!
I try not to have ‘accidents’ with a tool designed to kill people.
Any time you have people handling guns, no matter how safe you try to be, and no matter how many safety procedures, there will be accidents.
I’ve handled guns all my life and agree. Every year we have a big shoot at my brother’s outdoor range and we always have safety talks.
My opinion is, there are no such things as accidents, only incidents. Dude needs to keep his finger out of the trigger guard.
