Reminder folks, safety safety safety. Don't give the antis ammo......


RALEIGH -- Three people were wounded in an accidental shooting Saturday at a gun show at the N.C. State Fairgrounds.

A 12-gauge shotgun discharged while its owner unzipped its case for a security officer to check it at a security entrance at the Dixie Gun & Knife Show in the Jim Graham Building, according to State Fairgrounds Police Chief Joel Keith.

Keith said birdshot pellets hit Janet Hoover, 54, of Benson, in the right torso; Linwood Hester, 50, of Durham, in the right hand; and Jake Alderman, a retired Wake County sheriff’s deputy from Wake Forest, in the hand. Hoover and Hester were taken to WakeMed, but no information on their connection was immediately available.

Add a couple of more shootings in Indiana and Ohio and the media is having a field day with people getting shot: http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nati ... 7285.story" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No wonder so many want everyone unarmed.

Just a thought: They ought to make a portable bullet trap to keep at the check-in station
of a gun show and the muzzle of any gun being handled pointed into it.
Might not work on a high-power rifle, but then again, maybe.

Wouldn't help with the folks handling arms at the booths and tables, but
where they are checking in arms and zip-tying them, etc. I would think is
where the biggest chance of a loaded weapon coming in.
