There are no "accidental" shootings. As an NRA member, I would think that you would know that. When you continue saying that there are, you continue to perpetuate that myth for the antis. There is ignorance and carelessness, but there are not accidental shootings. One must violate at least two of the simple, basic rules of gun safety to have an unintentional discharge that causes injury. A small child picking up a gun is still not an "accidental shooting."
How many of those 60,000 so-called "accidental shootings" are being done by these 3- and 4-year olds, Mike? Why does a 3- or 4-year old have access to this firearm? Again, parents who give a sh*t would be a far better safety device, and if they don't, they won't use your magic bullet anyway.
It's possible that you've invented this from the goodness of your heart, but I have to tell you that I will never use it, nor tell any of the people I train (mostly women) to do so, either. I will, in fact, recommend against it if it comes up.
Sorry to hear that. I only hope that none of these women's children die by their gun. Then they will be coming to see you. I hope you do promote locks of some sort.
What amazes me is how you can be so down on something without testing it first. Especially since your in the business of teaching firearm safety.
As far as the title of Accidental Shooting its a handle that was given to this type of injury long before I got involved. Have you checked out these sites? You probebly know a lot more about guns that I do can you think on any way to stop kids from killing each other. No I don't think a small kid will listen to you or even grasp the concept of what your trying to teach. So then where does that leave us.
Give me an answer or show me a better way or get on my side.
