I fully support law abiding citizens having the right to possess and carry firearms.I also am a firearm owner. But there has to be a level of responsibly that comes along with that right. Casually handling a loaded weapon indoors without clearing the weapon first is not an accident,it is negligence. Involuntary Manslaughter is described as a death that results from a high degree of Negligence or recklessness during a lawful act. It certainly appears that standard should apply in this case.
