Yeah. This is bullshit. The person took a gun out and pointed it at someone. There’s nothing accidental about that. You’re 100% right, you never point a gun at something/one you don’t intend to shoot. So this soft apologist language of “accidental” doesn’t fly.
Absolutely, and I think this person should be charged for it. I don’t think its accurate to say he got out of his truck and immediately decided to shoot them in the face.
This should be a discussion about how easy it is to mishandle a gun. All these people quoting the four rules just haven’t broken them lately, but they have broken them.
Its impossible to be safe around guns when people are involved. Name a place and group of people that is safe with guns and I’ll show you an example of one of them using them incorrectly.
Isn’t like one of the basic rules of gin ownership that you only point a gun at someone you are going to kill?
It’s a rule of firearm safety. Unfortunately, in the US you don’t need to follow those or many rules for ownership.
4 rules of firearm safety:
1-treat every firearm as if it’s loaded
2-don’t point your firearm at anything you don’t intend to destroy
3-keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire
4-know your target, backstop, and beyond
Bonus 5- don’t do anything stupid

Yes. There is also supposed to be “trigger discipline”. Your finger should be kept to the side and not on the trigger until you intend to shoot.
In the US, in order to drive a scooter (like a Vespa) you need to take a basic motorcycle safety class. No such requirement exists to carry a gun.
oui
