death at a Boise gunshow...

[Zanad]

here's what I know, I was at the gun show where this man died. however I did not see the incident but I do believe I saw the clean up crew(or what was left of it) of 2 police cars in to parking lot chatting.

it was also reported by other stories that this man was apparently putting his gun away and was found slumped over in his truck.

this just seems to be a reminder that don't take gun safety lightly.

so he shot himself then? by accident while putting it away or something?

"Hmmm, I wonder if this new ammo feeds well and if my .45 will fit this new holster. Wow, the holster seems very tight! Ugh, gotta push it harder in there...harder..."

Darwin strikes again.

^^ I concur 100%. Someone bought something new at the show and they just couldn't wait to get home to play with it

Body found at Expo Idaho fairgrounds
he was not shot at a gun show.... but in his truck parked at the fairgrounds.

I just read through that article and it didn't mention that he was shot. I got the impression that he'd had a heart attack or something - is that wrong?

They say in the article "the man's death is believed to be accidental."

Leads me to believe it was not a natural cause of death.

It is in extremely poor taste to be callously speculating on the cause of death or the reasons behind it in the absence of any actual facts. Some of you really need to do a better job of staying on The High Road.

More importantly - this is off topic for THR.
