OMG Shot fired at Allen Co. Gunshow Sunday

[ggglobert9]

I was at the Midwest Gun Traders show at the Allen Co. Fairgrounds on Sunday when all of the sudden a loud bang ie gunshot went off...then a puff of insulation fell from the ceiling. Everyone was startled, nobody was injured. The shot came from a particular display table but nobody claimed to have known what happened? Seems like when there is a shooting with hundreds of bystanders/witnesses but "nobody knows nuthin". Anyway the local deputy on duty was investigating.

no one saw anything.... perfect.

Should have been easy to solve who did it. It was the one with in their pants and a :dumbass: look on their face.

HA!


Vertical shot sounds like a long gun. Might be an easier narrow down.

 

[Seancass]

Just find the one gun there that looks used.

The roofs leaking again?

What an idiot. This kind of accidental (no as someone else once stated - neglegent) shooting is what fuels the anti-gun morons.
We need to be more careful and hope that media doen't get ahold of this kind of information.
You can read it now - Hot off the anti-gun press -A dumb shoots hole in ceiling of room filled with hundreds of bystanders and admits that he didn't do it or atleast he doesn't think he know about it. This is why no one should own guns!

 

[mospeada]

The person who rented that table should be shut down if they can't keep their firearms under control. I bet they'd talk about who it was if they're gonna lose business.

Unbelievable!

I got there around 2:30 or so. About 1/2 hour or after the shot. I knew something was up because the deputies there were moving around in a group from table to table. I just figured it was a missing item off a table or something. I asked one dealer what was up. He told me that some idiot put a bullet in the ceiling. But no one knew who did and it was likley a .22. I didn;t ask him how he knew the caliber.....but he was far away from the hole in the ceiling. Oh and the show was very lame. A lot of junk and overpriced ammo. Althouhg I did get a few new 10/22 factory mags for $13 each. Cheaper than Gander at least...

I was there when that happened. Scared the crap out of me. I had just walked by and was a little ways down the aisle from where it seemed to have come from. I couldn't believe no one claimed to know what happened. Irresponsible dumb a**es. Seems like someone has never heard of the four rules.

It did sound like it was probably a 22, but who knows. Someone claimed it was just a primer. OK so what set it off?

Talk about hearing a pin drop. Right after it happened - dead silence.

Thank God no one was hurt.

There have been a number of discharges at gunshows that are the direct result of anti gunners.

They slip in to the show, ask to see a gun... usually at a very crowded table... skillfully chamber a round and wait.
Theres always some dumb *** that walks up and pulls the trigger... always!

This helps the anti's cause.

 

[MoTown]

Brilliant.

 

[HandK]

I wonder if you could get a discount on that Gun!!!!!!

There was a rash of ND's at the 1500 a few years ago too. The glock armorer dude, using live ammo to do a function check and the old vintage gun dude left a loaded chamber in a display pistol. Both dudes same weekend.
