    You forgot keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire, but yeah the thing about weapons safety rules is you have to fail all of them in order to shoot someone. He had intent in my mind.

      A lot of modern handguns guns don’t have safeties, to the point I often don’t even see that included as a rule anymore.

      But yeah, even if there wasn’t intent, the recklessness is enough to get him on manslaughter at the very least.

      You have to violate multiple basic safety rules for this to even be possible

      I don’t see where it says what kind of gun. It could have been a revolver. But at that point does it really matter anymore? So many “mistakes” were already made.
