I attended a gun show in Miami in the late 1980's where some idiot came in with an ultra modern high capacity 9mm; it discharged and struck a young teenage boy, the grandson of a well liked, long-time dealer. Fire Rescue whisked the boy off. My friend, an accomplished outdoorsman from upstate New York, noticed that the pool of blood on the floor had bubbles in it, which meant that the boy had been struck in the lung. The boy died.
It was after this that the gun shows began requiring people to tie open the actions of guns brought in.
