Exactly my concern, xd.
Also we do see threads on INGO about "Why come them thar revenooers make me zip tie my pistol gun at the gun show?"
Exhibit A=the lowest common denominator.
My growing concern is now the vast majority of these accidents seem to be when people are loading/unloading guns. I wonder how many of these incidents would not happen if they could have left the guns in their holsters to begin with.
Media is reporting this occurred in the foyer as he was reloading & leaving. The incident was near the exit but still in the show room.
Sorry to hear people were hurt!
Curious, what happens to the guy in this type of situation? Besides some form of medical suits by those hurt, what else? Lose his LTCH? Fines? Banned from shows?
This should be the bare minimum of punishment for this f-tard. Hell, I plan on going tomorrow myself. Now I have to be on red alert like I'm walking in Gary.
So who was the guy? Was he a "mole" perhaps? A "D" that was planted by the Barry Campaign to give gun owners a bad name?
Or from northern Indiana! sheesh could imagine? nothing but hippies and nerds who like to be tacticool live above Pike county.

Being from Boonville does explain some things, just imagine if he were from Rockport or something...

Here's the problem, Bowhunt, the less you (not, you personally Bow but "you" second person plural) know the more you are convinced that you know. In other words the lower one's training level, the more self-confident one is of his "safe" gunhandling skills. "I don't need no fancy gun skul ejamakashun. I've been around guns all meye life and my deddee taught me . . . *bang* sorry, Cledus!"Never seen anything unsafe there. I truly pray this crap stops happening or I am afraid I will no longer go to the shows.
That is so true, especially the highlighted part. I've heard it almost word for word so many times, not only in regard to safety rules, but usually within the context of or after mentioning the general idea of professional training, and how much we can all benefit. "By gawd, don't you tell ME 'bout shootin'! Ah don't need no traynin'!" (All I did was told him what a good time we had at a course, how much we learned and improved, and asked if he'd like to come with me next time.)Here's the problem, Bowhunt, the less you (not, you personally Bow but "you" second person plural) know the more you are convinced that you know.

We in the gun culture have very far to go in educating people on how to handle firearms. It is my belief that it should start in the public schools but that may not be politically viable.
However, what we can do is to make education "cool" or the thing to do. As well, we need to make every effort to make gun safety and responsible gun handling more visible in our culture...
... The Four Rules should be posted in multiple places at gun shows. Many little things can help us regulate ourselves.
Remember, those who do not control themselves become controlled.
