jesus christ :shake:

A. what kind of reputable safety conscience dealer has loaded guns at his table
B. what kind of person doesn't verify a gun is safe before handing it to someone else
C. who takes a firearm without knowing if it is in fact safe
D. what kind of show has repeated problems like this and isn't dealt with

this shit pisses me off because it's examples like this where the few bad apples fuck it up for everyone else. I go, well used to go, to a lot of shows with my grandfather when he was actively attending and dealing from his tables and let me tell you...

Rule 1. every gun is treated as loaded
Rule 2. you always verify the chamber is clear before handing a firearm over to a customer
Rule 3. you never accept a firearm on someones word that it's clear, always double check
Rule 4. you always again verify the firearm is unloaded once it's handed back to you

and we always told people to point our guns at us if they wanted to point them anywhere but up, not around the show. because we KNOW they are unloaded and if we fuck up we don't want someone else being injured because of our ineptness.

hell i don't even hand a loaded firearm to family members unless we actually shooting somewhere. ALWAYS unload when exchanging hands unless you're on the line or the likes
