An accidental discharge is very, very much like a gear up landing.
There are those that have had them and those that will.

I think it's a more a question of attitude. Where I grew up,
most of my
friends had firearms for hunting and target shooting. The ones
that had accidental discharges were the same ones that eventually
ended up shooting someone or something by accident.

I've never had one. it's pretty simple, really. You just assume the
thing is always loaded. always. You open it up and lok inside the
chamber, and it's clear. and there is nothing in the magazine. You
close it up, and.it's loaded!

The fundamental rules for safe gun handling a

1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that
the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not
cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the
muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common
sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different
circumstances.

2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the
side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch
the trigger.

3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety, and, if the
gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking
into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not
know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun
alone and get help from someone who does.

Bottom line -- only point it at things you don't mind killing.

Exactly.

of course, you're determined to kill the whole planet anyway, so
presumably you're exempt form the above
