Just what we need...or what the left wing nit wit's need...more ammunition to pick away at the 2d Amendment.

The dumb ass was probably a liberal plant, put in to do this on purpose.

Very, very lucky no one was killed. It’s hard to believe that anyone in our hobby wouldn’t carefully check all of their firearms before even packing them up to go to the gun show.

Years ago I asked to look at a Remington Model 748 and when I picked it up I checked the chamber and a live .30-06 ejected from the chamber. Crazy!

Those kind of anti gunners needed to get “disappeared”...

Administration red flag? (Foil hat pulled down to ears.)

I’ve never seen a loaded weapon at a gun show.
I’ve heard about several negligent discharges, one fatal, but never seen this in person.

Guns are dangerous and people make mistakes. That’s why we have the safety rules. You have to break 2 of them at the same time for someone to get hurt.

It’s probably a dream of the big Boeing stockholders and the management to get rid of all those overpaid American workers and move all of their commercial jet business to China.

More profits for oligarchs! Woo hoo!

Happened before the show opened, during set-up.

No excuse. He knew the gun was going to the gun show and did not inspect it before he left his house or business.

All guns in my house are loaded at all times and ready to fire so I don’t have to assume that they are loaded....I KNOW. Signs are placed at all places of entry stating so and where each gun is stored or placed warning of the fact.

Most gun owners who keep their weapons unloaded don’t realize that when you wake up at night, or when someone kicks your door in, you will not have time to load and fire your weapon...mainly because the clip, shells or storage place will be remote from where the weapon actually is kept....such as under your mattress, in the drawer by the bed or elsewhere....worse yet, somewhere in the dark.

All that you can do is throw the empty gun at your attacker and try to run. It takes me 1 second to have the gun in my hand and to pull the trigger if necessary.

When a gun is KNOWN to be loaded you don’t assume that it is unloaded. On the other hand, you ASSUME that it is unloaded bad things happen.

No! I don’t have any children the house....I knew what you were thinking.

No, apparently you didn't.

I made a statement, not an excuse. It was explanatory containing additional information than what was in the excerpt.
