I'll draw some heat for the following, but that's how it goes sometimes. Sorry, but "three" ADs in 20 years of shows is still a RARE thing to have happen. I realize that the accident is of Universe-Shattering importance to the ones injured, but "three" out of millions of people attending thousands of shows with millions of guns and rounds of ammunition being moved about is still a statistical blip. NOT that the gun-haters won't pump-up-the-volume and have this as an EPIDEMIC - a prime reason of why shows (and guns) must be banned! Regardless of some nitwit accidently firing a gun at a show, OR of some criminal scumbag using a gun to commit a crime, the bottom line remains unchanged: The 2nd Amendment reads "...shall not be infringed." There is no convenient clause regarding stupidity or choosing to break existing laws. To Biker, man, my chest hurts reading of your injury and continuing problems. You are obviously not into the sympathy-seeking game, but the feeling I offer is a respecful one. A very bad thing to happen to a decent-sounding person and their family. By the way, regarding shows, I know that no-one can see everything or stop everything that happens. But my "radar" is REALLY going as I walk the aisles. I watch as best I can who's carrying guns and where they're pointed. I really look-out for the "in-the-aisle" deals, wherein someone is standing in the aisle, fiddling with a gun. I know that Biker certainly didn't prance knowingly into a bullets' path. The others hurt in gun-show ADs also didn't WANT to be shot. I'm just saying that the door-guard cops and .08 cent zip-ties aren't enough security to allow you to drop your guard. In a play on a line from Jurassic Park, remember: "Stupidity will find a way."
