Sorry that your life was put in jeapordy by some clown who has no business owning a gun, much less carrying one. I have only been here a month and am appalled at what I am hearing from people who own guns. I have seen reckless gun handling and a shocking lack of knowledge about carrying and using a gun. Unfortuantely there is no cure for stupid. I have been shooting guns for over 35 years and usually when they go off accidently it actually means someone accidentily pressed the trigger. All three safeties on my gun can fail at the same time, defying the odds, and still I would have to press the trigger for it to fire.
Anyway, welcome to the "Hood" and dress to protect against the sun and gun.
