Tulsa County Sheriffs Office spokesman Justin Green said that although an investigative report was taken following Saturdays accidental shooting at the Wanenmachers Tulsa Arms Show, no criminal charges would be pursued against the shooter.
Green said the man who was shot, former TCSO Sgt. Rick Treadwell, had told investigators he did not want charges to be filed. Treadwell identified the shooter as Brian Pounds, a Tulsa County Assessors Office employee. Pounds, a former candidate for Tulsa County commissioner, served as a reserve deputy under former Sheriff Stanley Glanz.

Most auspicious company this dude keeps; he must be good buds with a former reserve deputy whose whereabouts we would all know at this time...
Sounds like the guy who was shot is doing OK, which would be the good news of the day.
I daresay that as Sheriff, and now as private citizen, Glanz was and is a psycho.
Looks like the Sheriff's department hasn't gotten all the damage undone yet.
Treadwell, Pounds and Skiatook Police Chief Pat Dean were working security at the Wanenmachers Tulsa Arms show over the weekend, Treadwell said.
Barney Fife was not available?
WOW! RETARD!! Unbelievable!
Stupid needs jail time as a public IQ menace.
The report says the bulletin ricocheted off a wall and lodged in the other guy’s middle finger.
So both shooter and shootee were local sheriffs guys...
When I lived in Garden City, KS our gun club held an annual gun show. Around 1986 or 87 a woman was killed when a rifle went off accidentally.
Oddly it happened while they were going around checking guns to make sure they were unloaded etc. When the guy picked up the rifle it discharged. This was before the show started.
The last sound anyone wants to hear at a gun show is "bang."
I have attended the show at the Tulsa Fairgrounds several times but not in the last 20 years.
It would literally take one all day to check out everything. I also remember that prices were quite a bit better than in Florida or Alabama.
My CPL instructor made it a point to stress that when inspecting a firearm, always point it at a corner of the wall and the ceiling to prevent any ricochet should it accidentally discharge.......
It is kind of sad that many LEO’s I have know do not care enough to know about firearms.
Scary too.
One would think it would be part of their training.
Or the firearm laws also.
Arrest them all, let the DA sort it out.
BIGGEST gun show in the USA! I’ve been going to it for over 40 years. Have missed the last few years though.
Biggest fear at most gun shows is some anti-gun person will get in and slip a bullet in some firearm, leave it and hope someone will “try” the trigger.
One year I got my Daughter to go with me to the Tulsa show.
She hit it off with some of the dealers. One gave her a cheap piece of jewelry and another gave her a tiny pocket knife.
She still likes pocket knives.
Indeed. If he thought the firearm was unloaded, then why did he deliberately point it at anything? And why did he pull the trigger?
Plus, the gun is always loaded. Act accordingly.
Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. /s
What if there is someone upstairs and the round penetrates (as they tend to do) the ceiling?
Every instructor I've worked with has always said that floors and ceilings are not necessarily safe places to point a firearm.
What, was he pointing at them to see how the sight looked when pointed at someone? And, loaded, no less. Maybe the police should be disarmed.
Moral of your story DO NOT pull the trigger to check if a firearm is unloaded.

Ummmm... Both you and that dumb@$$3d "instructor" should look up
"Retroreflector"
"Corner reflector"
and...
"Corner cube reflector"
Anyone who ever aimed a tight stream of water into a right angle corner learns that, no matter the angle from which water, projectile or light enters, it is going to be bounced right back out -- directly at the source. That's why a corner cube reflector was left on the moon --- to reflect laser beams from earth right back to the experimenting source.

Try it for yourself with a good water hose nozzle --but bring a change of dry clothes... '-)
