there was an "accidental discharge of a 22 target pistol at the show and now the city council has banned the show...
from AR15list:
{snip}
I was a vendor at the St Paul River center gun show where some jerk came
in,
streached a tie strap holding a browning $900 single shot target pistol,
took
one of the presentation rounds & loaded it into the gun. He then fired it at
the floor . Pieces did hit 4 people however the 4 were not hurt the worst
had
a 1/4" scratch that didn't bleed on hid shin. I was there next to the
paramedics.!!!
The st paul city council , last night voted to ban gun shows on city
property.!
I personally feel that guy that intentionally did this was an anti- gun
activist that wanted to close gun shows.!
he was charged with discharge of a weapon in city limits or whatever & I
have been told[ but I am not completely sure] that the guys charges were
dropped because he didn't try to do it! HE says>
I suggest those in the MN area contact the city council of St Paul &
voice[
politely] your opinions on the subject. Another right that has been taken
away without any chance of the public telling their side of the issue!
The only way to possibly know of the vote was to be thwere at the time-
no public notice was given that I have heard of!!!!!!
