I was there in the morning - I did NOT see the compliant PC30.06 sign I was looking for, but rather a sign out front with verbiage asserting that entry entailed a contractual agreement not to carry a loaded concealed handgun . . . a couple of guys at the entry WERE checking bags and purses.Keith B wrote:Makes me wonder if the gun show was posted 30.06 and the individual was disarming to enter the show and had a ND.
Today's newspaper confirmed that the shooter was loading his gun when it discharged, fatally wounding his father-in-law. Details are still sketchy, but unless there was some genuine mechanical malfunction, it sounds like a Rule 2 / Rule 3 violation.
Very sad to accidentally kill anyone, much less a family member . . . but unless there was a ricochet, it takes extreme carelessness to shoot someone by accident in the head.Otto wrote: . . . This morning it was announced that he had died due from a gun shot wound to the head, the result of an apparent accidental discharge.
I was at the Saxet show some years back when it was still on South Lamar when an exhibitor - a retired sheriff's deputy - had an ND inside. Nobody hurt, but he was OUT of there within 10 minutes, and one of the show employees told me he was banned for life from the show, not just as an exhibitor, but as a customer as well.
I hate careless gun handling - in fact, even when I was younger, I was very picky about who I'd go to the range with.
