Two men shot in accidental discharge at Lee County gun show
Two men were wounded at the Lee Civic Center on Sunday after a gun accidentally discharged while it was being reloaded.

The shooting happened during a Florida Gun Show event at the east Lee County venue.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office said that one man was reloading a gun when the weapon discharged. The shot hit the man's finger and the bullet then wounded the foot of a friend of the gun owner's standing nearby.

What kind of gun show was this? Why was there ammo there?

Gun show loophole

Probably unloaded and zip ties pistol prior to entry. ND when reloading on way out. Complacency is the enemy.

Wow I'm dumb. I was thinking they picked up a gun that was on display and got ahold of some ammo. To be honest I don't check my guns at the door at shows. I would hate to be the guy that gets taken out at a gun show because he wasn't armed.

I was wondering how two men got shot with one accidental discharge. It was just as I suspected,

Gun show loophole

In this case it was a "Gun Show Finger Hole!"

No such thing as an accidental discharge, sorry... Negligent is factually correct.

sounds like a big dummy to me. an ND is one thing........but why are you hitting your finger too?

sounds to me like this has been years in the making.....

Another notch in the anti's panty's!

My thought exactly. Cue Shannon Watts in 3...2...1...

Cool, maybe enough notches and they'll snap, and then they are clear to go fuck themselves.

Well at least they followed the first rule of gun safety, it kept Somone from being killed. Next time take note of rule number 3 it's very helpful at avoiding this situation.

 

[Automan21]

Jeez more ammo for the anti's. Amateur hour at a gun show, come on guys.

I haven't had an accidental discharge since I was making out in the back seat of a '60 Ford back in high school...just saying.

Bingo!

Who the heck ever puts their hand in front of a barrel when reloading, unloading, shooting, storing.....ever?

Hell...when I have to remove the barrel bushing from the front of my 1911s, I check that the mag well is empty and then rack and inspect the chamber MANY times, first.

Glad you got that worked out since then. Kudos!

Simple...

Idiot with a gun.

Being a gun owner does not make one a good, responsible person. Douche bags surround us!

That would be the greatest irony of all...

According to the reports..The accident happened in the parking lot of the Lee gun show.
The idiot puts his finger in front of the muzzle while reloading/unloading.?

My guess is that the owner had the gun aimed downward when it discharged- shooting his finger(idiot had finger over muzzle) & his friend's foot (the "other guy" was his friend.)
