Have you ever discharged a firearm accidentally??

Yep. Once. My first gun, a Rock Island 1911 .45
Finished cleaning it, reassembled, threw the mag in, dropped the slide, and pulled the trigger to drop the hammer
Luckily I was pointing it at a wall (because always practice safety) and shot that. Partially dislodged the brick on the other side of it.

Why in the heck would ANYONE in their right mind have a 1LB trigger pull on a gun? I thought I was crazy for wanting a 2.5-3.5LB pull on a custom 1911 I had, but I guess not.
I feel like some believe the cardinal rules are stupid or childish, but I had a buddy of mine (retired Army combat vet, 3 tours in the Middle East) who instilled this in me over 10 years ago when I first got into firearms. He was one of the most careful firearms handlers I know and he "did not play that" when it came to safety. His tips have saved me, especially the "treat every gun as if it is loaded, even when you clear it and know it is not." I've never had an AD or ND, but I had a close call once that reminded me of the importance of ALWAYS checking your firearms, especially if it's your EDC/home defense gun or you took it to the range the last time you went and swore you unloaded it the last time you went.
Even now when I go to my LGS, I love that they always make sure the gun's clear even if they had already cleared it before I came in to look at it. Doesn't matter if it was 5 minutes or 5 hours earlier, always clear it.
Mmhmm those dang shotguns getcha everytime…who knew when u take the tube off it doesn’t unload itself automatically xD definitely unlocks a new respect towards firearm safety!
One of the real tests is when you're honest with yourself and you acknowledge just how close you came to having an ND but didn't.
It's also worth remembering that it's incredibly hard to be utterly safe at all times ('utterly safe' being that you're obeying all four rules simultaneously).
And that's why it's good there are four of them.

Yep.
My father was given an award for a ND at the gun shop he worked at back in the 80's. Lol.
I've had 2 that were my fault but my first one was a BHP with a "trigger job" so crisp the hammer followed the slide home to a bang.
The other 2 where training mistakes as I was practicing my draws and reloads, amd I didn't put the loaded magazines far enough way, instead I out them in the mag holders. About 5 years apart every time.
