How does this crap happen? Do people not check their weapons after shooting?

3 injured after shotgun accidentally fires at N.C. gun show

(CNN) -- A 12-gauge shotgun loaded with bird shot accidentally discharged Saturday when its owner opened its case at a gun show at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds, injuring a retired sheriff's deputy and two other persons, police said.

The gun owner, a 36-year-old man from Wilmington, North Carolina, was carrying the weapon through security at the show entrance and was unfastening the case on a table, authorities said. The owner planned to sell the shotgun at the show.

The deputy suffered a slight injury to his hand and was treated and released at a local hospital, said Joel Keith, chief of police of the North Carolina State Fair.

A 54-year-old woman from Benson, North Carolina, was being treated a wound to her right torso at a local hospital, and a 50-year-old man from Durham, North Carolina, was treated for an injured left hand, Keith told reporters.

"I want to emphasize that this is an accident," Keith said.

And thus the reason that even with a cwp I can't carry in the gun show......and don't even get me started on how stupid I think that is!
 
More people attending shows , experienced and otherwise, means more chances to screw up. Of course, they could all be anti's out to confuse the issue. ;) :lol:
