If you pick up a gun and don't clear it. You are negligent.
If you point a gun at someone. You are negligent.
If you are not taking any safety precautions when handling a firearm. You are negligent.
100% this here. If you're negligent with a firearm you're responsible.
Not in Texas apparently.
Reminds me of back in the 1950's and before when getting black out drunk and running over someone was an "accident".
Back when drunk driving was just boys will be boys.
Glad those times are gone
I phrased is like this as I know that in some situations it might be needed to pick up a gun to defend yourself from harm.
However, no political argument should ever devolve into the need for guns.
Yeah but it's not an accident
