Silverback https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311573448 A negligent discharge is when a firearm is fired when it is unintended due to operator error or not following safety protocols surrounding the handling of a firearm. 
An accidental discharge is having the firearm fire when it was unintended, unexpectedly, and possibly due to weapon malfunction. (Aaron, n.d.) 
These terms are often argued because someone who is handling firearms should be using extreme care and using the training they have received to properly control their weapon. ]]> 2018-12-05 19:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311573448 References Silverback https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311593932

The TriggerSafe also completely covers the trigger so no accidental pull of the trigger can happen by improperly holding the weapon. (Gray, J. 2017)]]> 2018-12-05 20:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311595703 How it works?

Silverback https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311608475 Many weapons that are used in crimes or suicide are often by unauthorized users. This helps keep a functional weapon out of the hands of someone who intends to commit a crime or self harm.
The Guardian is attached directly to the gun so it is an extra layer of safety, which could potentially be the deciding factor between someone's life or death. ]]> 2018-12-05 21:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311608475 Silverback https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311615272 (n.d) TriggerSafe Website]]> 2018-12-05 21:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311615272 Silverback https://padlet.com/Silverback/zwg6tthcrsy2/wish/311615424 (n.d.)
