Hey Folks,
I haven't posted for awhile but figured this would be on here.
Been a while since I went to a gun show ... may be a while before I go back.
I was at this tanner event when this occured Sat along with a 1000 other folks. Fortunately, my daughter and I were on the other end of the building when the round discharged, a buddy and his family were within 30'. Unfortunate fellow who took the round caught it in the chest and was listed as critical Sat afternoon. Incident happened right by the Entrance of show so Sheriff had that all blocked off had to exit through fire exits. No panic or folks running for cover, etc. I'm actually kind of surprised the media hasn't made more of this because it certainly was a ripe tomato for the antis. Really only a few possible ways it could have happened: Really ignorant vendor( no zip tie) : Really, really ignorant buyer (let's see if a bullet fits): Kid,nut job or lefty cuts safety zip tie drops round in closes chamber and lays it down and sees what happens.
Whatever the reason this type of incident certainly does nothing for gunowners and if in fact someone can be proven to be negligent or acted criminally it would be my hope they would prosecuted for their actions or inactions as the case may be. Haven't heard a thing about the guys' condition at this point. We as gun ownership supporters certainly don't need this incident to be thrown onto our backs.
First thing my father taught me: Treat every gun as if it were loaded!
Second: Don't point it at anything you don't intend on destroying.
