Today before the gun show opened a shooting occurred at the Wichita Falls gun show as a vendor shotgun went off injuring 3 people with birdshot. Apparently not life threatening, thankfully. This is the gun show that had posted 30.06 and 30.07 signs earlier this year and they were removed after my emails to the city manager.
I am glad that nobody was seriously hurt and that the incident did not involve a LTC holder. I don't know what the vendor's response is. I also don't know who checks the vendors guns but they always seem to be safety tied.

I'm curious how the gun "went off"?
I'm glad no one was seriously injured.

To err is human.

To err is human. To have a ND is stupid!!!

True. There are stupid people. No matter what we do though there will always be something unexpected that happens.
I went to the show today. It was so empty I don't see how anyone could have been hit even with a negligent discharge. Our local gun show has really gone down hill lately.

I'm glad the "shooting" was accidental and not intentional.

I'm glad the "shooting" was accidental and not intententional.

Actually it was negligent!!!

So the guy intended to pull the trigger?

What does that have to do with negligence?

You can ask him. I was just curious if the guy intended to pull the trigger. Sometimes negligence leads to an accident.

I'm confused, as there is no intent is associated with negligence or an accident. However, negligence more closely describes the incident which occurred.

Negligence does not always end up in an accident. People are negligent every day and there are no immediate consequences.


It's fun to see who gets hypersensitive over the negligent vs accidental terms as if they are always mutually exclusive.

I've got to go load my HI-Power clips at the moment.

Well, it may have been an accident caused by negligence. By the way, I like your choice of weapons.

That's my point.

Thanks. Let me know if you ever want to borrow some clips.

With two recent incidents of vendors not clearing the weapons they are selling before they arrive, it seems gun show promoters need to pay more attention to their vendors and quit worrying so much about LTC's carrrying in their shows.
