Did you not read what I said? As you're clearing it. "Clearing it" is secret codeword for "making sure it is completely unloaded."

Why would you ever clean any firearm without first making sure it is completely unloaded?
Failure to clear the firearm first is negligence, not accident. Discharge of a firearm as it is being cleaned is never an accident, it's always somebody being sloppy with their basic firearms safety procedures.
Let's say you're following the rules but when you get hit in the head (by a huge friggen guy! er...frame) you crumple to the ground, falling on your gun, and your booger hook is forced onto the boom switch.Picture falling from the wall cannot make gun go bang if your booger hook is not on the bang stick. So yes, this would still be negligence. -adamsesq
