I must agre with Mike, "accidental discharges" don't exist.

The Houston Gun Collectors Association hosts the oldest and largest gun show in Texas. The HGCA has required zip ties on all firearms for many years. All of the public customers have their guns checked on admission and are tied. In fact, they may be one of the first shows in the country to require the use of ties. The HGCA also utilizes block captains to check the tables and customers for compliance.

Over the years there have been pistol discharges usual on setup day by dealers. Stupid lack of safety protocol by people that should know better.
