Gunshot wounds treated at any hospital here, would result in the Police being called. Charges would be laid for "Use of a Firearm Dangerous to the Public Peace", Dangerous Use of Firearm", "Wounding" and perhaps some other charges. These are not considered double jeapardy here, even though they are for the same offense. The shooter would most likely lose all his guns and be banned from possessing firerams for a number of years, probably for life. 'Unintentional Wounding' is taken seriously here.

When I was a kid back in Ontario, a certain nationality was quite infamous for 'hunting' accidents - with rifles small game hunting or large game hunting as well as with shotguns. "Sound Shots" were a normal reaction for them to any sound they heard as they'd shoot in the general direction of the 'sound'. Ontario Game Commission got tough on this - quite Draconian, actually and by the time I left home at age 20, the accidental wounding or killing of hunters had become a thing of the past. It became a most rare accident.
