The other saying is never use reloads because these can also show intent to harm.
LOL! More so than my actually shooting the person?

I saw a study some time ago where they ran people through a shoot house, one group with SA and one with DA, to see if there would be a difference in response to sudden stimulae. The DA group pulled the trigger almost as often as the SA group "shooting" about the same number of innocent bystanders. Can't find the study but it suggests that DA versus SA isn't that big a difference in preventing "accidental discharges".

Thst is not an accidental discharge, that is poor/panic decision making.
