In 38 years in the classroom and on the Range in various titles (PMI, Range Safety Officer, Firearms Instructor and Range Master) I've seen too many unintentinal discharges (not accidents). Unfortunately unsafe weapons handling by rookies and professionals is too common.
Marine Passes M-60 muzzle first into Armory window while pulling trigger: Kills Armorer.
Marine in Guard ready room discharges 870: kills Marine.
Marine went nuts on range shooting everywhere, hits on Marine in leg then takes three Marines hostage.
TERT Team member discharges G22 in Ready Room after range training.
We all now about suicides on the range and murder/suicides on the range (Mom kills Son then self: FL).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vPnMbLr5nc
My position is NO One should be allowed on a Public or private business Range without having proof of completing a Formal firearms Safety Course. even the "professionals" suffer from trigger finger creep under stress

Officer kills Allen Grant ("Tazed" with service pistol) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUs_6yTcLW4
Officer his suspect in head with gun in same hand: http://gunsforeveryone.com/tag/accidental-discharge/
DEA classroom training instructor shoots himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IZlcbJwfP4
Officer shoots self and partner during booking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJf1Ku_F74Q
More bad things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et33bbA0GeM
My intent is not to put Military or LE in a bad light. These are individual incidents to take lessons from. There are enough bad guys shooting at us. we don't need "accidents". Project ZERO TOLERANCE for range misconduct. Handle it directly, Report it if needed, and leave the range if it continues.
