Sometimes firearms are defective and go off by themselves. This is called "accidental discharge" (as opposed to cases of human error, or "negligent discharge"). In these cases, the firearms are recalled. This is uncommon with modern firearms but absolutely still happens. Not onion-y.

Also happens more often than people would think with competitions, lot of highly modified guns can have accidental discharges a lot easier than something you'd buy off the shelf at cabelas.

Great example as to why you always treat the firearm like its loaded, his finger is nowhere near the trigger.
