Talking to my son-in-law's neighbor, who has a Vortex disributorship this afternooon. He attended a Gunshow this week-end, and was present the following.
A fellow approached a vendor, and started asking questions about concealed carry. He asked "What do you carry?" whereupon, the vendor drew his personal weapon, ejected the magazine, and handed it to the potential customer. (Anybody care to guess were this is going?):banghead:
Right! The customer pointed the gun at the floor and pulled the trigger! The chambered round fired, the bullet hit the concrete floor, went between two bystanders, and through a wall. Injuring two people slightly. THANK you, Lord!
What is rule 1? Seems like neither of the participants had ever heard of it. Any gun is ALWAYS loaded!
It could have been much worse, but, it just strengthened my wife's anti-gun attitude. (She has a valid reason for it, and it's not me!)
So, check, double check, and be careful who you let handle your deadly weapon. You could avoid the unthinkable!
Actually, I hope they both get banned from gun shows for...like 47 years!
