Greetings all;
This happened to me at the Tulsa show a year or so ago. There was a .410 that, while being removed from a horizonal rack, was accidentaly fired with a live round in the chamber. The shot pellets struck a man on the side of head and another man in the stomach. I was standing near the FGS table talking to Ken when the shot was fired, not 10 feet away. The man immediately fell to floor with blood streaming from his head. Of course, at the moment, no one knew what kind of firearm it was or how severe his injury was. Fortunately, both men were not seriously hurt. The dealer who owned the gun was escorted out and unfortunately for FGS, his table was among the few that were roped off for quite some time.
