With regard to KBCraig's question...........

I went horizontal when the shot was fired and waited until I felt there was not going to be any followup. I had no idea what was happening and wasn't going to stand around gawking.

When I looked over, the gentleman was standing there looking around and looking very perplexed. Everyone was focused on him and I couldn't identify anyone else that appeared involved. He was packed up and moved out instantly and another dealer quickly relocated there.

I've seen him at numerous gun shows but he's the kind of guy you don't really notice too much. I'm told he is a retired LEO and I doubt he has an FFL but can't be certain. I said I wouldn't be surprised if he went to Louisiana because he is retired and probably earns needed income from his gun show efforts and he won't be attending any future Saxet Shows. T___ said he was sorry to ban him from the show as he had known him a long time but noted that he wasn't pressing charges.

That's about it.

From what I understand from conversations of other patrons and sellers, there was a dealer that had apparently neglected to empty the chamber of one of his .45's and somebody dropped the hammer on it. It ricochetted off the floor a wall and into the ceiling.

He was just a few tables away from me and the view was unimpeded as we are both located near the entrance. He is a retired police officer and a regular at local gun shows but he made a bad decision. The gun came in unloaded but, for some reason I will never know, he chambered a round and had the ND. The round impacted the floor and disintegrated with the jacket coming to rest a few tables away.

T____ and the Austin Policeman that carries the 1911 folded up his display and had him out the exit before I could figure out what happened.

Saxet policy is to permanently ban anyone discharging a firearm during a show and he is out just as much as the ammo dealer that kept threatening people with his pistol. Guess they'll both do the Lousiana shows now.
