Another Negligent Discharge Shooting @ Gunshow!

[fyrediver]

Of course I pull the trigger on a gun I'm interested in purchasing! How else do you feel it?

FIRST you must clear the gun! I do that about 3 times before I even consider dry firing it. I do that same drill regardless of where I'm at when dry firing, at home, at a gun shop, at a friend's house, at a gun show, at the range! Cylinder open, mag out, slide racked 3 times or bolt back, look into the chamber, and then check it all over AGAIN!

another troll?

Not at all. Just every kid on the block says "so sad"

Aren't these guns supposed to be unloaded, actions tied open by law?

No. It is a gun show rule for people bringing in guns to be zip tied. I believe vendors are excepted. The show people whine about non vendors bringing them in, however, every discharge has been from a vendor firearm and not one from an attending persons firearm.


I haven't been to a show in a couple of years as the prices are ridiculous.

Interesting, I could swear I read it somewhere that is was law, maybe in one of the ORS 163.... laws, but maybe I'm just imagining.

Even if it was Oregon law the ND took place in Idaho.

"Who in their right mind "pulls the trigger" on a freakin gun inside a building?"


What I insinuated was "without making damn sure the gun is cleared first"
