Glad no one was injured.

Negligent Discharge. ADs only happen when a firearm malfunctions causing it to fire or continue firing. If some jackass cant keep his finger off the trigger then it is a NEGLIGENT discharge.

Shit happens. We need to be forgiving. Following this logic most traffic accidents would be negligent. Glad to see you adding to the race toward no margin of error.

Negative, shit should NOT be happening with loaded weapons, and there is no margin of error for firearms. I can assure you, if my wife or 10 month old were in the line of fire, I would not be so forgiving.

Most traffic accidents ARE due to someone's negligence! True "accidents" do happen but they're rare, most are incidents caused by at least one person having his/her head up their ass.

Thats kinda my point. In this day and age of no one being responsible for anything, and a constant dumbing down, lowest common denominator kind of world. Maybe he was having a bad day. How many of had a "holy cow that was close" moment? At most jobs every accident is "preventable". People eff up all the time. He feels bad. Nothing even got damaged.

i have bad days,sometime many of them. I also try to avoid chambering a defective firearm and pimping it off to some poor slob.

If the fuker KNEW there were issues with it why

1- was it loaded ?

2- why was it loaded ?

Really, what DID get "damaged" was the reputation, once again, of ALL gunshows. The show operators/promoters could possibly insist and require ALL firearms that vendors bring in, to be properly cleared, banded/strapped/tied prior to even bringing them into the building. Even that requirement wouldn't assure this not happening again because some vendor will probably not take the time to accomplish this. IMHO.

^^^ this. The word accident is used all too often because it absolves anyone from wrong doing. Children have accidents. This was negligence.

Welcome to the world of responsibility. If you can't be responsible enough to follow the rules then don't touch firearms! This is a simple concept. It's assholes that minimalize the consequences of ignoring safety rules and want people to feel good about themselves after potentially negligently killing someone that are making the firearm community unsafe.
