Tom Clarke and Mark Flinn reply to a viewer's question on the definition of an accidental discharge in this program. They define the difference between a negligent discharge, which is human error, and an accidental discharge, which is a mechanical error. You, as a firearm owner, must always follow all of the universal safety rules in case of a discharge, which was not intended. In the end, you are responsible for each and every shot fired!
