Every gun-show ND I've heard about, it always seems to have been a dealer.

I said "seems", before anyone gets their panties in a twist.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner:

The vendor who displayed the loaded gun that resulted in a woman being shot in the foot at a Fort Worth gun show will not be allowed to participate in future gun shows, according to the city of Fort Worth.

On Saturday, an attendee at a gun show at the Will Rogers Memorial Center picked up a gun that was on display at a vendor’s booth. The person pointed it at the ground while pulling the trigger. A bullet was in the chamber and it ricocheted off the floor and hit a woman in the foot.

Should have been at least three checks to clear it before ND. The person looking at the gun should have cleared it but maybe a newbie and uneducated and doesn't know the gun safety rules. But the vendor should have cleared it before bringing it to the show and checked again before handing it to the person.
I figured it was a negligent vendor. Few years ago my son in law and I were at gun show in Round Rock. Shortly after we left a loaded firearm on a vendor table was discharged. No one injured but Round Rock no longer allows gun shows at the venue.
