I have no empirical evidence to back this assertion up its just what my gut tells me.That said:IMO there's no such thing as an accidental discharge. If the gun goes off anytime other than on purpose its negligence and could have been prevented. (Note: fwiw I define negligence as preventable and accident as non-preventable)If one is situationally aware, thinks further into the future than the end of their pecker, and follows the four rules in non-combat situations then it is extremely unlikely that one will ever experience a firearm discharge that was unintentional.One caveat: I recently read a thread here about a design flaw in Remington 700 model rifles pre 82 that can cause the thing to discharge if just the right sequence of actions occurs. That might actually be an accidental discharge, maybe.</blockquote>
