So the steel being cupped can result in this? Yark!!

I haven't seen a Free Republic thread posted on this yet (I may do one later), but a guy shot himself in the hand at a gun show here in Knoxville this afternoon. And to beat it all, the fellow is a vendor/dealer.

It's a story we have heard before. Took out his personal gun (Kimber .45) to show to a customer, removed the mag but (you guessed it) failed to clear the chamber.

First rule he broke was the obvious "Always treat every weapon as being loaded". Second rule broken was that no loaded weapons are allowed at the gun show. No serious injuries, but that could have been a nightmare. Gives the rest of us a bad name. I don't think he will be welcome at anymore RK gun shows!
