Indeed.

I also thought they might be able to fire intentionally, but I’ll take your word for it that they won’t 😛

This sounds like a distinction without a difference. Most accidents involve negligence.

X, I disagree, particularly since chris describes what he means by accidental (gun malfunctions) or negligent (person malfunctions).

Fair enough. I’ll grant that he applies his definition consistently; it’s just a weird definition. Imagine if someone were to apply the same logic to cars. Under Chris’s definition of “accident,” how many people are killed in automobile “accidents” every year? I’d guess a couple dozen, if that; the rest were caused by driver negligence.

You see, here I thought I was funny and nobody cares. Go on then, just pretend like I’m not here, *sniff*

Well, it wasn’t that funny 🙂

And I fixed it pretty quickly.
I believe it is necessary to make a clear distinction between the two types of unintentional discharges. Accidental discharges are due to mechanical or design failures; negligent discharges are due to avoidable human error.

No, they do fire accidentally. I’ve heard of several instances where cops have accidentally shot themselves; someone as well-trained as a cop would never do such a thing unless the gun was defective. 😉

Ok, thanks for the validation. It sure wasn’t as funny as this. I couldn’t stop laughing for a whole day when I saw that. And I’m a cat person.
