I believe it can be argued that stupidity is protected under 9A, and 9A is protected under 2A. Sorry.

Before we jump down someones throat for the use of hich, go back and read your posts regarding the word gangsta. There are stereotypes all over and it works both ways.
Either way someone screwed up at the gun show. It happens.

I was there
This is not a rumor and the dealer that fired the shot was totally responsible. As for the "hick gun show" comment, the Wanamaker show is as good as they come. Just like the "guns don't kill people" concept, nobody can watch every dealer all of the time at a show like this. My hat is off to the Wanamaker folks for running a truly professional event.

P95LAX - " I cannot see any guy running a table being this lax - so it does leave us wondering?!"
It doesn't leave me wondering at all.
Here in Boise, I've had tables at the various Boise gun shows quite a few times. I've seen dealers/table renters, twice, have CDs. (Careless Discharges.)
Both times were with .45 automatics, one a Colt's and the other a Star.
Both times were BEFORE the doors opened as these guys were setting up their tables, therefore no "anti-gunner" slipping a round in a pistol unobserved. Fortunately, no one was injured. The last one happened just two tables down the aisle from my table, and a bullet fragment or piece of concrete from the floor hit one of my friends in the back of the leg, at his table next to me although it did not penetrate his jeans. Gave him a sting and slight bruise. Scared the Hell outta me ... and quite a few surrounding "dealers" and table renters.
Of course, the two "dealers" were required to pack up and leave immediately. One of them I knew, the other I did not.
So, just because someone is a "dealer" renting a table at a gunshow, does NOT mean that he/she has been as careful as he/she should.
FWIW.

I was there early on Saturday and I saw a lot of idiots in the parking lot walking towards the show with long guns in their hands and their fingers fully into the trigger guards with their fingers on the triggers.
Inside the show there was a guy in an electric wheelchair that was rolling around with a leveraction and he had his finger on the trigger.
The 3rd, 4th, or 5th hand story I heard was that the 410 shotgun belonged to a show atendee and not a dealer. The atendee while attempting to sell his shotgun to a dealer loaded the shotgun with what he thought and what he told the dealer were snap caps and handed it to the dealer. Of course the dealer is still an idiot on this whole deal.

What would you be wondering. This isn't as unfrequent as you might think. I have been to less than 50 gun shows and have shown up to two where it happened previously in the day and been present at a third when it did happen. All three events were by VENDORS.
Yes, people do get that lax, even vendors. It should not happen, but it does.

From article linked on first page:
No opinion offered, just a sincere question.
An ND with injuries every six years. Is that acceptable? How often is the show held?
