Yes, and I'm one of them. Whether you choose to admit it or not, a gun can malfunction without intervention from a human. Sears fail, parts break, safeties malfunction, this is always a potential for any firearm. This is why the 4 rules are so important.

It's mostly true that a modern firearm, properly maintained, will not fire unless the trigger is pressed. I say mostly because there is always the potential for any mechanical device to fail or malfunction.
