People are often injured or killed by a firearm that was discharged accidentally. The major cause of unintentional hand gun discharges is defective manufacturing. Certain firearms that have not been recalled although they are defective are: the Excam Derringer, Lorcin pistols, the Remington Model 700 hunting rifle, and the Sturm, Ruger, and Companys Old Model single action revolver. The continued sale of such defective guns makes the chances of accidental discharge highly likely.

Unintentional firearm discharge may happen when the gun is handled improperly, when a loaded firearm is carried in a vehicle such as a vehicle, or numerous other scenarios.

Other reasons for weapon accidents include:
• Improper maintenance: Improper maintenance may cause obstruction by build up of debris in the barrel, which causes it to rupture when the gun is fired.
• Shooting at a hard surface: This may cause the bullet or surface pieces to ricochet and injure the gun user or others.
• Improper ammunition use: Improper use of ammunition means using the wrong caliber or size, and also using reloaded or remanufactured ammunition.
• Shooting while intoxicated: Alcohol consumption leads to impaired judgment which may lead to improper use of a weapon.

There are other dangers connected with firing a gun that does not involve hand gun accidents per se. For example, firing a gun in unventilated areas will increase the risk of lead exposure, which can cause birth defects and other types of toxic injury.
