No matter how hard we try and train, AD’s do happen, even among people at this level.

My instructor drummed into me that there are almost no "Accidental Discharges". The vast majority are "Negligent Discharges". The only exception being a mechanical failure that caused the gun to fire without it being touched (which I've never heard of happening)

For a NG to occur with people injured, the gun owner had to have violated a safety rule

You beat me to it.

AD is used far too frequently.

They should all be demoted to meter maid duty.

I like that term, Negligent Discharge. It really is more correct. Although I have seen some that could be classified as truly accidental but it took some pretty screwed up circumstances. You would be amazed at what I’ve seen happen with really highly trained and aware individuals.

Then their was the Sheriff’s Deputy that was so fat that he got his weapon hung up on the steering wheel of his car while trying to exit quickly and got a nice leg wound to take home. I never heard how he tells the story but I doubt it’s the way the rest of us do!

no finger on trigger, no discharge... that’s it.
