Common Causes of Accidental Shootings
In recent years, the amount of gun-related injuries has seen a dramatic increase. Understanding the proper ways to deal with a situation involving a fire-arm is imperative.
Generally, gun owners should keep their weapons safe and secure at all times. This is the safest way to prevent anyone else from taking the guns and mishandling them. It is also important that gun owners and users treat their firearms with the utmost care and understand the impact accidents can have on those around them.
But sometimes, accidents do happen. Some of the most common causes of accidental shootings include:
- Gun user negligence or recklessness
- Improper storage of guns
- Defective firearm design
- Product failure
- Misfires
- Shooting into the air
- Alcohol-related gun shootings
- Drug-related gun shootings
