Some stupid cop puts his booger hook on the bang switch when he's unloading a pistol. Yes, it was a cop; I have a source who was 50 ft away when it happened. WHY would somebody bring a loaded pistol into a gun show anyway? Why not unload in your car, or at least before getting in line? Why hand a LOADED pistol to a COP, who are well known for not following the 4 rules?
This is a very bad time for something like this to happen. They are gonna use this to clamp down on everything, you watch.
Bad timing.
Remember, only cops need guns.
All thumbs nature of the cop aside, who in the frigging hell brings a damned gun to a gun show, to get checked even, with the damned bullets still in the gun? Unbelievably stupid. Some people are just too damned stupid IMO.....
Bad timing, my a**. This was sabotage, not an accident.
Yep. Enemedia will pounce as directed.
Since it was a cop, the mainstream national media won’t even pick it up.
I know this puts me in tinfoil hat territory, but I just can’t put it past the gun-grabbers to try to engineer some kind of mishap on Gun Appreciation Day.
Coincidence?
Consider the possibility that it was not an accident at all, but rather an orchestrated attempt of anti gun zealots in law enforcement, the Feds and the media to promote gun show,and Second Amendment restrictions.
Any gun show I’ve been to, the officials doing the check-in are LEOs.
People thing just because they are LE, they know about guns. A few years ago the ATF accused a fellow of having an “illegal machine gun” and were preparing to prosecute him. The guy FINALLY got a real expert to allow him to inspect the firearm. Five minutes into the inspection he found a broken and jammed firing pin.
Someone once told me “There are no coincidences.”
I didn’t believe them at the time.
Kinda reminds of the cop who shot himself in the leg in front of a classroom full of children!

More people will hurt themselves falling in the bathtub today. Ninety people will die in car accidents.
I thought the same thing. Why would anyone load a gun at a gun show?
Response: Oh Lord!
How do you screen the lefties out of the gun shows unless you're some sort of mutant psychic?
Screw the fire department and tell them to try and stop the show. All hell would break loose. Government must be crazy to use an accident to cause cancellation. Damn fools. We are too easy on all forms of government control since they are the insane walking on my turf.
Meanwhile.....
Central Michigan university student kidnapped and raped by a parolee with a long history. Sentenced to 15 and out in 5 and raping college students within months. His “gun” was a BB gun. Fortunately he won’t be taking up and more of our time.
Out of the thousands of gun shows and millions of attendees in any given year, ND’s are so rare that I actually don’t remember one, although I am sure there have been.
The fact that the one we all hear about was done by a cop and not an ordinary law-abiding gun owner who understands the responsibility associated with firearms ... fine by me. Hard for the press to make hay over this one.
