Now can you really tell me that I shouldn't criticize an LEO or joe public when it happen to them as well....let's see, I believe I've cared for greater than 3500 -4000 (or more) GSW patients and I believe the offending problem has been something pulling the trigger on 99.9999% of them.....want to try again with your statement? Not trying to be an idiot or disrespectful of your opinion about this but your statement isn't justified. Accidental...nah, negligent is more like it in most cases.
