Tanner this weekend?

[Marlin]

Was gone before it happened.

I was also gone. When I told my good, progressive wife about it she said, "See, that is why people like me say there should be no guns. If a supposed (SP?) professional can do it, than what about Joe Blow."

The guy who had the ND will hopefully have learned a lesson and will not be allowed back to the show.

Yeah I'd almost agree with her... <rant> (directed at the dumbass with the pistol) If you're going to carry why would you bother to take it off your hip or where ever to hand it over to someone else. You're supposed to carry for a reason, uh these things aren't toys, people will get killed, that's what they're made for..............

Seriously the last thing I am doing is handing over my weapon for someone else to fondle. If I have it on it's for good reason not just for the sake of having it. And I'm sure as hell not going to hand to someone else. Just pure stupidity for the sake of making a dollar if you ask me.

Let me add I have no problem with anyone carrying at the shows open or otherwise. But if you're going to carry it doesn't get handed to someone else no matter if it's been cleared, disassembled, whatever, period. If you're going to take the time to turn it into a club for someone else to handle, you probalby didn't need to carry it anyway. This jackass just gave the anti-gunners another bullet for them to use against us. Effin dumbass. Arms on the table are a whole other arena all together. </rant>

I think I've finally came to the conclusion that the gun shows have seen their better days. While there are still some good vendors and deals to be found it just ain't what it used to be. Even Mike at Bower's will tell you without internet sales he'd be hurting.Sign of the times I guess. Place was way too crowded yesterday and then an AD on top of that !!!

I think the best part about this is I havent seen or heard anything about it outside of here and ARFCOM...no news agencies seemed to have picked up on it...

The Vendor wad a .380 of some sort and he was carrying it. He removed the magazine from it an dlayed it on the table. No chamber check, No Tie on the gun.

Gets laid on the table for sale and a customer picks it up and points it at the floor and pulls the triggeer. BANG.

No one hurt thank god.

Vendor arrested and banned from teh show.

The ASSHATS at Gunner Security (the RETARDS taht had the AD last time) have been apparently allowe din by the new show owners. However they are not allowed any sort of firearm behind or on the table at all. If they are found with one they will be excommunicated.

No burning powder or flying lead today.
