Attack at a Colorado Gun Show

Thought you all might get a kick out of this. I didn't attend the gun show in Denver, as I was
holding a grassroots meeting in Fort Collins. However, our guys filled me in.

Late on Sunday afternoon, (April 2, 2000) a 39-year-old attendee at the gun show, an
Oriental-type man, (who later was identified to be a member of PETA) went to Dave's Guns
tables. Dave is the biggest gun store and biggest exhibitor in the area.

He started screaming "F--- Dave's Guns! Guns kill!" and started turning tables over, spilling the
guns onto the floor. One of Dave's employees, a small, but extremely feisty type, came over
the table and tackled the guy, then started beating the snot out of him on the floor. A couple
of other attendees began to help stomp the guy.

Meantime, the Aurora cops, hearing the ruckus, came running, and extricated the dude from
the tender mercies of the gunnies. They cuffed him, arrested him, and started escorting him
out of the building. The dude went berserk, kicking at the cops, and trying to kick over other
tables.

The cops laid him out again, and hog-tied him end to end, then took him to the hoosegow.

The guy is now charged with destruction of private property, inciting to riot, public nuisance,
and assault on a police officer. Methinks he will spend substantial time in the can.

On top of all that, Dave had about $5,000 worth of pistols which are now nicked and dinged,
and can't be sold at retail as new guns, so the guy will probably be entrained by the court to
make restitution. Then he'll have $5,000 worth of guns he can saw up, if he pleases!

Ain't life fun?

Wow...
The Colorado anti's are a psychotic bunch, aren't they? First Labgrade's friend is attacked by the Head of the Bell Campaign and now this.
That thin mountain air? :)

Glad I checked. I was getting ready to post this, having just read it in disbelief.

Un-frickin-believable. These people are absolute nuts.

Does anyone know if any of the other attendees/vendors that intervened will be cited or charged? You never know...just ask Shariar Ghalam.
 
Maybe this is why the pro-crime, anti-self defense, anti-rights people are so adamantly opposed to guns - they think everybody is as violent and out of control as they are and it scares them.
 
I showed up a little after the ruckus. People where still talking abnout it. If you don't like guns, fine. Just don't try to impose your views on me. Above all, don't flip out about it and cause a scene.

Hmmm. I wonder if I could get a deal on the damaged goods?
 
I'd call Dave's and make an offer, Erick, but don't try to take too much advantage of a bad situation. That wouldn't be sporting of you at all. I'd at least offer him what he paid for the gun(s) that you're interested in, plus shipping charges.

That'd be sort of like buying a S&W from a shop so that they don't have to eat the shipping charges to send them back.
 
Let's see:

Pay admission to gun show in order to storm a bunch of armed men and destroy their property and livelihood in front of them, while shouting obscenities at them.

Are we going to have to start watching out for pacifist hoplophobes on suicide missions now? What could this guy have been doing but trying to provoke a violent incident?

Hmmmmmmm.
 
That is a shame. But tell me, what does the man's ethnicity have to do with his deplorable behavior? NOTHING, I should think! Idiocy is not racially, or gender specific. :(
 
Phil, I honestly think you are right on the money. I've noticed this trend, and I think there is something to it - I think a lot of these folks are mentally on the edge, and they think everyone else is unstable as well. Therefore, they are frightened by the thought of other 'crazies' having firearms. Wonder if I can get a psychologist / psychiatrist to look into this ...

And, friends, this is another example of what I believe can be called an 'aggressive pacifist' ... an odd mixture of a human being so opposed to your philosophy of self defense that they would force their pacifistic beliefs upon you.
 
Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't arrest the employee who stomped him.

If the Bat-Faggots were there that's probably what would have happened.
 
Wow. That makes two incidents of violent hoplophobe attacking peaceful, law abiding gunowners.

Could it be because they know that they are WRONG?

Or, as suggested, they may be agents provacateur?

Oh, well. Just be careful out there, folks. These people are like grade schoolers-they get mad when they don't get their way.
 
Had this incident occurred in a Houston or
Dallas gunshow, it would have been ruled a
suicide by the authorities!

Quick point. "My friend" (although I would be most proud to call him same) isn't strictly. I've briefly talked with him, previous to the incident & not since, a couple times - 'bout it.

Back to this one.

There are stages of being "effective," if you will, in what we are attempting to do.

Being "publicly ignored" (sounds dichotomist, but isn't), marginalized, demonized are all stages that "they" will go through to attack you and your efforts & message.

When you start hearing them scream, then you know that you are starting to get to them - where they live.

Granted, the more astute (& "stable" - right) don't go around tipping over tables and initiating physical violence, but they would if it didn't "send its own message" and that against themselves.

We had a demo in CO last Friday evening (lots of women/children). We were filmed by a LEO-backed brew (for "intel" gathering), we were "covered" by a SWAT team (well, an observation post whose people were wearing tac gear & had rifle cases) ....

We are putting pressure on some who have been unpressurized for far too long & they don't like it.

And I heartily agree with the comments about quite a few of "these type folks." They are unstable & think that everyone else is as they are. That they would have so much anger (and that they cannot control it) and think that we are all the same is the truly scary part to me.

& these people are allowed to drive a car!?
 
Way Back in the late 60's & early 70's my dad was a Police officer in Ft.Worth, he told me that most of the cops when dealing with "peace protestors" would calmly wait for the first guy to take a swing at them usually with a plackard after which it was pretty much a onesided battle (lots of hippies in squad cars holding various hurt body parts).

Just goes to show you that "Peace" may have more than one meaning to these jokers it means when I get what I want and you loose we will have peace at least until I want somthing else.
 
In a bizarre way, these people turn out to be our allies as they turn off the fence-sitters amd start to make them wonder just WHO are the "nuts". Something like the thugs who threw acid or some such at those who wore furs.

Colorado must have an unwritten version of that Texas law called "Justified A$$ Whuppin' ". :)
