Jones letter: Firearms safety
There has been way too much published and broadcast lately of what is called an accidental discharge of firearms. I am a former peace officer and regular Army soldier, in addition to being a shooting instructor and coach. To me there is no such thing as an accidental discharge of a firearm, but rather a negligent discharge of a firearm, and people who engage in firearms sports, etc., and are not competent. I strongly urge you to become competent before you hurt someone.
