FTFA:
Security personnel disable most guns, looping zip ties through gun chambers.

How can gun owners possibly defeat a zip tie?

This is why I only attend Nerf^TM conventions.

It was a gun convention, not a body armor convention, subby.

I left about 30 minutes before this happened. I'm hoping it was the guy selling 'Renuke Japan' bumper stickers.

That's okay, son. It's your right as an American citizen.

If only there had been some way for them to protect themselves

Besides Rule 1, 2 and 3?

"Security personnel Police officers disable most all guns, looping zip ties through gun chambers."

That's how it works in Texas.

Why wasn't there a gun law in place to prevent this accident? Can we use this situation as an impetus to write more gun laws?

"They were just looking at a gun," Baker said.

Guns are very self-conscious. If you look at them in a threatening manner, they will shoot you.

B-b-b-b-ut I thought being surrounded by guns makes you safer!

Was a Glock used?

and yet another example of a responsible gun owner exercising his Second Amendment rights.

I support gun rights and still got a chuckle out of the headline.

No cure for stupid and all that. Some dumbass broke multiple safety rules for this to happen and should be held accountable.

I've never been to a gun show, the days of finding good deals seem to be long gone from what I'm told. Plus they seem to attract too many of the crazy types...

White people can't be trusted with guns. Colorado should know this.

Think about how many would have died if there weren't so many guns there then!

+1 subby, you magnificent bastard.

gah, I hate gun shows. All these people who are *supposed* to know about guns, swinging them here and there and everywhere. I'd rather live my life without inadvertently looking down the barrel of a gun held by an idiot.

If anything, I'm surprised more people don't get hurt at those things, safety tags or no.

I have a glue gun.

The rules:
1. All guns are always loaded.
2. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
3. Never point a gun at anything you don't intend to destroy.
4. Always be sure sure of your target and what lies beyond it.

Yep, he broke them all.

Shooting victim must have used the intercom to tell all black guns to leave the show.

And yet more people still get killed at bowling alleys.

"The show, which drew fire in 1999 when three guns bought there were used by Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris in the Columbine High School shooting, has run in some form since 1964."

I didn't realize kids can just walk into a gun show and buy stuff.

Darwinnated.

Too bad this happened at a show, this will probably lead to more restrictions on shows. I like the shows, the human freak parade flies their flags high at gun shows.

no.

This is my rifle. This is my gun!

Shall I start? Ok, this gun is one of many in my collection:

We had an accidental discharge happen here in Fort Worth -- thankfully no one was hit. A friend of a vendor brought in a pistol to sell and did not declare it or get it inspected at the door. Put it down on the table, someone picked it up, and *BANG*.

The vendor, his friend and the guy who fired the shot are *all* morons. Especially the guy who fired the shot -- for not checking to see if it was loaded before pulling the trigger. At least he had it aimed at the floor at the time.

You still bragging about your trolling exploits on facebook?

Jensaarai: It was a gun convention, not a body armor convention, subby.

But I thought an armed society was a polite society?

//Seriously, this is like Detroit, but in a smaller space. If having more guns made everybody safer, that town would be a paradise on earth.

they had an older guy buy them. i think it was mark manes, he had no knowledge of their intentions and got some time in pmitap.

I'll go next, starting with the oldies.

Came for the irrational gun rants (both pro and con) and leaving highly satisfied!

Hey, wait, this is Fark. Aren't all hot women assumed to be crazy unless proven sane?

Are you at home? Flee that death trap and get yourself to a gunshow!

OMFG!!1

/yawn

Remember, it's not a real gun show unless at least two booths are selling The Turner Diaries.

And I haven't been to one in a year or so. Do they have a "Ron Paul in '12" table yet?

Eh. Every time I've gone to the Tanner Gun Show I've never seen one loaded. My worries have always come from the discussions surrounding the actual purpose of the event.

A vendor DID screw up and this should be dealt with, but at the end of the day I'm less frightened by the merchandise at the show than I am about some of the nutters that attend the damn thing.

Oh shiat, each of my guns is pointed at something right now! I'm breaking the rules, but I don't know how to stop! How do I unpoint them???

/these are for kids
//esp #1 and 3. The even ones cover it.

Were I shot at a gun show, my first thought would be, "Well surely they're prepared for this."

Oh fark me. I want that on a t-shirt.
