I'm not denying the fact that this guy was careless with his firearm in his vehicle after the show. Disarming and rearming while seated in the confines of a vehicle is not near as safe as being able to do it while standing, such as when getting dressed for the day back at home. I have no problem with people carrying at gun shows as long as the loaded weapon STAYS holstered and concealed. A holstered weapon that has its trigger guard area covered has not shot anyone to my knowledge.

It just "went off". That's what the media would say............
Unbelievably they said he shot himself rather than it “went off”.Police say 26-year-old Charles Lake was leaving the gun show at the Savannah Civic Center around 5:10 p.m. Sunday when he discharged a round into his leg while re-loading his pistol.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

People like that are the main reasons why gun shows and some gun stores do not allow loaded guns in public. Stories like this also feed the fire to the anti-gun media. Some gun owners need to stop being lackadaisical on gun safety. If I saw someone in a gun shop mishandling a firearm and violating gun safety rules, I take that very personal and will be very quick to correct that same person. Gun shop owners/gun show vendors too need to really get on on those people and stop turning a blind eye to those safety violations because incidents like that can also hold their business liable and ruin their livelihood.

gun show are only after one thing money... I quit going to those shows unless allowed to carry... fortunately my buddy always sells guns there and I'm in free and allowed to carry
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless

Must have been carrying a Glock. Those dang things just go off by themselves.

I remember years ago when I installed a big wide trigger shoe on my 1911. First time I jammed it down in my tight fitting holster it discharged. Scared the hell out of me, and damn near got my foot. That wide trigger shoe evidently caught on the edge of the holster and set it off. Needless to say, that option came off!
So much for the grip safety.
