There’s no such thing as an accidental discharge. There are negligent discharges and there are mechanical disasters. If it’s not one of those then you intended for the gun to fire.
I’ll agree that negligence does not equate to accident, my young child and I have been working on that lesson for years. But intent is a bit of a stretch. If it was actual intent, I’d be overjoyed. This is more of a dumpster fire just doing what it does.
You misunderstood what I’m saying. I’m saying this was a negligent discharge. It wasn’t an accidental discharge since those don’t exist. And it wasn’t an intended discharge. And it wasn’t a mechanical failure by the manufacturer or designer of the gun. The only other option is negligent discharge.
Read about this years ago. This is the only accidental discharge I’ve heard about. Worn leather holster pulls the trigger. In fairness, an argument can be made that using a worn/flexible holster was negligence.

That is the correct argument. This isn’t an accident, this is pure negligence.
