I've sent "Gabriel" a PM. Please don't quote the post or respond to it in any detail. Posting that comment in public was clearly an "accident".

Awesome news. FWIW IMHO this is a good decision. In fact I think it's completely reasonable to ask someone who has a ND in public to simply take a safety course.

Agreed. I don't see this as an aggressive response.

Criminal prosecution, on the other hand, is quite simply immoral. I wouldn't be opposed to legislating this outcome, but only if it makes the threat of criminal charges much less harder to bring about.

I have stopped using AD, and ND as a descriptor of this. Seems someone always gets offended when you call it a ND. Can't bring myself to call them accidents, I stopped that a long time ago when describing collisions. So a discharge of a firearm when it was not intended is a unintentional discharge UD.
