You're missing the point a bit here. It's not about safe gun handling, so much as it is about a completely different mindset of a civilian and a soldier. Civilians aren't updated with an SOP every day and orders to follow. They have to make a decision in how/when to defend themselves, and once they make their decisions, they will be the only ones held responsible.
