First rule of gun safety, always treat it as if it's loaded until you know otherwise.

There are no accidental discharges, only negligent discharges.

I feel like that's the setup for a "tell my wife that! *rimshot*" joke.

We know she can’t help her discharge, we all stopped laughing at her because we felt bad.

I know this well and even thought about it, but my dumb ass decided I knew better. Sometimes you just do stupid things. I have no excuse.

Oh yes, humans do stupid things all the time. I am guessing you probably won't put your finger over the barrel again and pull the trigger without checking to make sure there's no pellet... So it was a learning experience!
I hope that your finger injury heals up well, and good (better!) luck to you.

Then, continue to treat it as if it is loaded.
