I'm sorry, but that is not good enough John. Dick has been shooting for a long time... Probably longer than I've been alive. His carelessness almost costed someone their life. There just aren't any parallels between car accidents and negligent firearm discharges. Safe gun handling requires constant attention, such that anything less than paranoia is unacceptable. 1. You treat every gun as if it were loaded. 2. You do not point a gun at anything you aren't willing to have hit by a bullet. It doesn't matter if the gun isn't loaded, see #1. 3. You do not put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 4. You are not ready to shoot until you have confirmed your target is what you intended to shoot and have verified there isn't anything behind your target you don't want to shoot. These are just reiterations of the NRA's basic gun safety rules. Dick knows better than that.
