One is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is Enemy Action.
LOL!
No one was killed, just minor injuries.

[[That there would be some small number of accidents among these hoardes is statistically likely.]]
More peopel die from accidental electrocution in the homes than die at gunn shows, but hte left sensationalizes gun deaths? MaYBE THE LEFT SHOUDL COCNENTRATE ON BANNING ELECTRICITY INSTEAD as it’s much more deadly than gun show deaths
“•411 people died from electrocutions in the US 2001 (US Consumer Product Safety”

THREE, not two.
MEDINA, Ohio (AP) -- Accidental shootings at gun shows in North Carolina, Indiana and Ohio left five people injured Saturday,
All reasonably close together too, on a national scale.
Sounds, literally, incredible.
One of the incidents was a removed magazine with one in the chamber. Is there any reason that they can not produce a weapon that will not fire without the magazine in place? I see that scenario far to much. It happened here in Utah this past summer where a brother shot his other brother dead.
Just a thought.
There are probably more first-time buyers than ever.
These seem like very unrelated stories to me.
The first link describes business as usual in the officially decreed gun-free zone that is the vacation wonderland of Chicago.
The second story details a couple of accidental gun discharges at gun shows by a bunch of stupid newbies to the gun world attempting to cash in during the Obama induced gun panic. Really, you can’t fix stupid with some people and Darwin awards apleanty will be given will all the gun novices now trying to cash in.
correction: ...:with all the new gun novices now trying to cash in.
My point.
The AP has been running the gun show accidents all day long.
AP has not run the 2 dead 5 injured in Chicago at all.
I had to search Chigaco local news to find it.
Which story has the greater loss of life?
Good point. I should have included the sarc tag.
Yes, I think the media skew the news all the time to push the anti-gun agenda selectively reporting and not reporting as it were.
Two incidents that you can think of is "far to (sic) much?"
No mechanical safety feature will ever replace training and experience in proper firearms handling. The most basic safety training for semi-automatic arms is to know how to clear the action and know for certain that no round is chambered. More basic than that, for all arms, is to never point it at anything you don't intend to destroy much less point it and pull the trigger.
Exactly my thoughts, too.

Goldfinger’s rule: Three times is enemy action.
Don’t know why, but, reading the title of the thread, I wondered when it will be illegal to get shot.
As to the accidental shooting(s) at the gun show(s), I wonder if those happened also in the previous years, but, just, weren’t reported because it wasn’t the “soup du Jour” topic.
The day after zero signed his 23 EieiOs, my ears perked up and I actually looked at my radio in surprise when on the news they reported minor shootings in Albany. They don’t usually report that stuff.
One is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is Enemy Action.
You need to repeat that 53 more times. Once for each State. (I don't know how many cities there are in the US. Be grateful for that LOL)
