I went to a gun show in Fredericksburg Virginia today and experienced a first ... and hopefully a last. While walking through the rows of tables suddenly a loud shot rang out from the other side of the facility. Everyone turned toward the sound, froze in place, and went silent waiting for "what's next". The cops on duty at the show ran over that way and things in the rest of the facility went back to normal fairly soon. As we left the show, we asked one of the cops what happened. It turns out some idiot dealer handed a rifle to a customer that had a live round in it. While examining the rifle the customer pointed it at a wall, squeezed the trigger, and ...BANG... giving him the shock of his life, and more than a little concern to couple of hundred bystanders. Fortunately no one was hurt. First Place in the Idiot of the Month club goes to the dealer who should have ensured the rifle was empty. Second Place goes to the customer that didn't double check it himself. Were I king for a day, the dealer would have his FFL revoked and the customer would get a free bottle of valium at the dealer's expense.
