How to use cavalier in a sentence?

1. Cliff Pirtle:

   I was heartbroken to learn of the tragic incident on the Rust film set, having personally used a similar revolver on film sets, I know there is no space to be cavalier with these firearms. They are not props ; they are deadly weapons regardless of the context of use.

2. Lonnie Phillips:

   We like to consider ourselves responsible gun owners, but it wasn't always like that with me. I've had guns. I was raised in Louisiana, Lake Charles. My father had a gun, he carried it around in a glove box. One time somebody cut him off. He jumped out of the car, grabbed his gun, ran up to the window. The guy looked at him, flipped out his badge, and said, 'Red, if you don't put that gun away, you're going to jail. Get back in your car.' That was it. How cavalier was that?

3. President Obama:

   We all grieve when any innocent life is taken. We don't take this work lightly. And I know that each and every one of you understand the magnitude of what we do and the stakes involved and these aren't abstractions and we're not cavalier about what we do.

4. President Obama:

   We all bleed when we lose an American life, we all grieve when any innocent life is taken. We don't take this work lightly. And I know that each and every one of you understand the magnitude of what we do and the stakes involved and these aren't abstractions and we're not cavalier about what we do.

5. Noel Lozares:

   There are a lot of negative stereotypes associated with chiropractors, i’ve had chiropractor colleagues who have worked on me who are good and judicious. But, unfortunately, there are those who are cavalier.
