KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A man was taken to the hospital Sunday afternoon after shooting himself in the hand at a gun show.
Gun dealer Bill Adams, 64, of Kodak, was taking a concealed gun out to show a customer, when the gun discharged and shot him in the hand.
Knoxville Police said the man removed the magazine from the .45 semiautomatic Kimber handgun, but a shell remained in the chamber.

The chambered round is the one that kills you.
Even I know to treat every gun as a loaded gun.
Don’t the rules of disallowing loaded firearms apply to dumbass dealers?
“... taking a concealed gun out...”
out of where? might be lucky he didn’t shoot himself in a worse place than his hand.
Stupid is as stupid does. Messed up three times. Didn’t clear the chamber. Pointed the weapon at something he didn’t intend to shoot (of course, he could’ve been demonstrating .45 cal effect on flesh and bone). Pulled the trigger. Maybe he’ll remember next time.
Yup. I'll bet he won't have a table at the next show.
1.All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2.Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)
3.Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target. This is the Golden Rule. Its violation is directly responsible for about 60 percent of inadvertent discharges.
4.Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.
An organizer with the gun show tells 6 News that loaded weapons are not allowed at gun shows and the man broke the rules by bringing the handgun into the show.
Thanks for nothing, dumbass.
I wonder how many “secondhand” gun smoke complaints they got.
My gun club in Western Kansas had a fatality at our annual gun show around 1986 or 87. It happened when they were going around checking to make sure all the guns were unloaded. This was before the show opened.
The story I heard was when the guy picked up a Remington 700 in 7mm Mag. it went off. The bullet hit a woman in the head killing her instantly. We carried on with the show but it just sort of ruined it for everyone.

Guns do nothing other than collect dust and cast shadows. |
They had LEOs at the door.
LEO - "Are you in possession of any firearms sir?"
Me - "No sir. That's what I'm here for!"
LEO - "Right on!"
Gave us a little chuckle.
LOL! I think this is hilarious. Poor Bastards. Gonna catch hell isn’t even the start of it.
Wonder if he’ll make a deal on that used Kimber.
It should be cheap, cause it’s obviously defective. LOL.
