Intention indeed matters! Hell just look at the law.... Did I plan it out and murder this person or was it spur of the moment. Hmm yeah in our society intention has EVERYTHING to do with it. Many FDO transfer their weapon. Many do it on the ground at the gate where people are. At least this man was doing it on approach. I dont know I differ with all of you. To take this mans job is just insane. I've heard too many times of accidental discharges. They happen, happen all the time.... If I need i'll go get the stats.....
