How many of those highly trained people you were around mistook another human for a game animal and fired at them? We not only have to know exactly which species an animal is, but in most cases the class of animal as well.
I have witnessed several firearms safety violations over the years, but in over 45 years of hunting, I have never witnessed anyone that I hunted with fire at a human that they mistook for an animal, That is the most serious of all firearms violations. It isn't an accidental discharge, since the person intentionally pulled the trigger, it is a negligent discharge.
