That's a succinct summation of what I'm referring to as non-dischargeable duty.
At the end of the day, when you are handling a gun and someone dies, what YOU did is primary. If you point it at someone and pull the trigger, does it shield you from responsibility if someone else told you that was a safe thing to do, even if that representation was the only steps you took to verify safety?
And please don't make me 'babble' to establish why handling a gun is not the same as driving a car in terms of inherent danger.
