Man Cleaning Gun Kills Stranger at WV Gas Station

My šŸ‚ šŸ’© senses seem to be tingling at the moment. Iā€™m trying to internalize ANY reason someone would be cleaning a gun in their car at a gas station, while loaded nonetheless, and just ā€œhappenā€ to hit an innocent.

My perspective is that someone who carries gun cleaning supplies in their car (again, šŸ‚ šŸ’© senses tingling) might know enough about unloading and clearing said gun before cleaning it.

I suspect this is just another liberal attempt to disparage honest firearms owners. In fact, this line from the article - ā€œIn 2022, there were more than 48,000 firearm-related deaths in the United States according to mortality data. Thatā€™s about 132 people dying from a firearm-related injury each day.ā€ - seems to leave out the important questions - how many were self-inflicted and how many were attributed to minors (who are illegally possessing said firearms) living the gangster lifestyle.

 
I totally buy this. I see images on various forums, and particularly on Reddit, of dudes taking pictures of their new gun in their lap in the car because they donā€™t want their mom or girlfriend to see the gun before they sneak into the house with it. Itā€™s not a stretch to picture some dumbass putting a couple of rounds in his brand new/first gun jacking around with it and sending one through the window. Like it or not, we know these people are out there.

Hell, I recently had two morons in the shop of a range I was visiting whip their guns out of their bags to compare with one that was on the rack. I mentioned it to the manager and she said she would talk to them. They then proceeded to sweep me and the girl at the counter several times before I told them that if they showed me their guns one more time I was going to show them mine. They looked at me like I was the a-hole and walked out

I have always been of the opinion there are no such things as accidental discharges. There are only negligent discharges.

I would personally consider an accidental discharge as this:

Youā€™re on the skeet/trap line. Your anticipating the skeet being sent flying from #2 station. ā€œThwakā€ goes the machine and sends the skeet downrange. You jump the shot way out in front of it in hyper anticipation of the skeet & shot.
Some would say you just shot way to soon. Others would say it was an accidental discharge. Heard both ways ..

I donā€™t shoot skeet so I canā€™t rationalize your scenario. Help me.
If I squeeze the trigger too early ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. is that accidental or ā€¦ ??
If I donā€™t know what my target is, is that accidental or ā€¦ ??
