The biggest gun show in the USA "Wanenmachers in Tulsa OK." and some stupid vendor loads a firearm and it discharges inside the show.

By the grace of god no one got hit.

Anyway the vendor got kicked out for the rest of the show and I am betting it's the last time he attends this show.

Dunno about your way, but our way NO ONE is allowed to have a loaded weapon at a show (short of LEOs), not even those with CCWs, not vendors, not anyone. And, if you bring a gun in, it has to be zip tied so it can't be quickly loaded.

The guy in the DEA video was a "professional" too. Stupid people and guns don't mix. This is what happens.

It does happen from time to time. I think we had an incident years ago in Georgia where a child was killed. Such simple rules in handling firearms and yet folks still screw it up.

+1 KOL, thanks for making it sound so simple and right.

Well the Wanenmachers Arms Show is the largest show in the USA and has been a very safe and controled show for many years. My guess it was the vendors private firearm and he slipped it into the show without it being checked.

Everyone who buys a ticket is checked closely at door before being allowed into the show.
I remember a AD happening at the Houston TX gun show many years ago.

When something like this happens at any gun show BIG or small it hurts all gun owners.

I bet Wanenmachers will make some BIG changes as to controling anything like this not happening again.

Did the kid shoot himself by AD or did someon else shoot the kid? That is just crap. Anyone that ever tells me that I shouldn't freak every time I see a muzzle pointed at me is an idiot.
Muzzle bad.
Gun cleared and not pointed at me good.
