I agree - it was an accident. But if I change lanes without carefully checking my blind spot and cause injuries, I'm pretty sure I'd get a nasty ticket and wind up in court. My saying it wasn't intentional probably would not help my case.
We are all armed with cars out there. The situation doesn't seem all that dissimilar.
I think if someone shoots someone, they oughta get in a heap of trouble for that. Even if it was accidental. Wandering around with a gun is a HUGE responsibility. If people can just oopsie shoot each other without consequences, they won't be as careful out there as they should.
