If all this happens, it is a clear sign of a lack of gun safety education. When I take a gun in my hand, the first thing I do is a chamber-check while pointing the gun to the ground. I never trust a gun until I checked it. This is a routine.
I guess one cause of this problem is that there is no draft anymore. That means no strict gun saftey training for the majority of the male population. (Finger off the trigger rule)
But even in the military accidents happens.
Handling a gun is like jumping with a chute. If you think you are very experienced and you get negligent, then accidents happens.
Since I have kids, I am even MORE careful.

BTW, a while ago a guy with an M4 type rifle had some "problems" with his gun, then he turned around with the gun talking to his buddy. Immediately the range officer came and sent him off the range. Really scary situation...
