Accidentally discharged, means accidentally pulled the trigger.

Not always.

Indeed, but guns are generally safe to handle, unless they've been modified or are badly worn. In any case, the bullet actually hitting someone meant that at least one basic rule of gun safety wasn't followed.
Hiding it in a sock, and then donating it to a thrift store is another safety-rule not followed.

Leaving it loaded is another.

Ban thrift stores! They are dangerous! :arrr:

Yes ban we must do something about this because if it saves just one life it will all be worth it :zoinks:

They are bad for the economy too. All those things with second, third or even more lives. Let's burn it and buy new stuff.

They need to act now, before a thrift store takes another life!

OMG, you're right. It's their fault that the economy is crumbling.

That's true, just highly likely.

It depends on the design of the gun actually, some are more well known than others for being able to discharge without the trigger being pulled. Older Remington model 700's are notorious for firing on their own.

Yes, accidental discharge vs spontaneous discharge.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. There are guns that can fire when handled rough or dropped. There are several brands of small, cheap, .22 auto pistols that are poorly designed and suffer from these problems.

The two aren't used mutually exclusively, correct, though the distinction remains.

Am aware and haven't disagreed with points related to discharge without pulling the trigger; agreed when the point was first made by El-Presidente.

Condition of the gun could also be a factor who knows if it had been modified or damaged

Sounds like one of those cheap pocket-size pea shooters...someone may have dumped out the contents of the drawers after someone passed away and never even realized it was there.

Always question heavy socks and underwear...I think that was one of the top ten hiding places at one time...the sock/underwear drawer beside the bed. ::)

SO had one of those little things...it was cheaply made and lacked safety features. Almost ended up in the washer once.
