You do not shoot someone accidentally while cleaning your firearm. You shoot someone accidentally while playing with your firearm.
No-one changes the oil on a car while it is running, and no-one cleans a loaded firearm. You can, but the results are less than satisfactory.
I would like to know if he had his cleaning kit out? Had he just returned from the range? Or was cleaning his gun something he did every Friday at 2:30 PM?
No wonder so many otherwise right thinking but uninformed folks are afraid of firearms. You cannot even clean them without someone dying.
It is an accidental tragedy. But for Heaven's sake, you are a state trooper, man up and admit that you were playing with your gun and accidently killed your wife and child.
My point was about the absurdity of a ND while actually cleaning instead of using that as an excuse. substitute 'unintentional' for 'accidental'.
