Man accidentally shoots himself leaving gun show....

snip>

A 50-year-old Indiana man accidentally shot himself Saturday afternoon in the parking lot of Hara Arena after attending Bill Goodman’s Gun and Knife Show

Trotwood police Sgt. Brandon Holbrook said the man, a licensed CCW holder, purchased a holster at the gun show and was putting a handgun in that holster when it accidentally fired. The bullet struck a finger on his left hand and the man was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital. Holbrook said it was unlikely the finger would be able to be reattached.

How about we reduce the availability of loaded guns where children might get their hands on them? classof56 Feb 2013 #18

Only a very stupid gun owner leaves any fire arm loaded and not locked away. In_The_Wind Feb 2013 #22

Anything to solve the problem but fewer guns. Robb Feb 2013 #24

Fewer guns in the wrong hands will help to solve the problem. In_The_Wind Feb 2013 #28

That's the thing, though. Robb Feb 2013 #35
