You do not accidental raise a gun, point it at someone, and pull the trigger. Total bullshit to say otherwise.
Also get out of there with that trigger nonsense. It takes a conscious amount of force to pull back a trigger. They’re designed that way to prevent accidents. They don’t go off because someone has their finger on it ( which is intent to fire anyway)
He may have been very drunk and in an altered state. He probably did something his sober self never would. But he still chose to do it.
The only thing you said that’s even plausible is it could have snagged on something. Which of course he still chose to do a lot of illegal actions leading up to that
Correct. AFAIK, he did not claim that lifting the gun was an accident.

Yet somehow, triggers get accidentally pulled sometimes 🤷🏻♂️. There’s a term for this: Negligent discharge (not to be confused with accidental discharge).

“A trigger”? You mean in general? Like as a universal rule that applies to all triggers? That’s not how it works. There’s a very wide range of trigger pull weights, travel lengths, etc.
IIRC, most Glocks have a trigger pull weight of around 5.5 lbs (depending on model). It’s not nothing, but it’s definitely not a lot. Negligent discharges can and do happen.
Anyway, sounds like we pretty much agree on the rest.
