Gun Show!
 

Ten people were hurt Tuesday night when a gun show worker fired a
shotgun into the floor, thinking the weapon had been loaded with dummy
ammunition. According to Elgin, Illinois Courier-News, the gun was
accidentally fired during a gun show at the St. Charles Sportsman’s
Club, the area Country Club.

The Kane County Sheriff’s Department reported to the Courier that
officers responded to the club, located in Blackberry township, after
reports of gunfire.

Seven people were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Three men,
ages 81, 60 and 14 were transported by ambulance to a local hospital
for treatment.

A 69-year-old St. Charles man was reportedly handling the shotgun when
it went off. The man believed he had placed a “snap cap” in the
barrel, a device used to protect the gun’s firing pin when it is in
storage. Pointing the barrel of the gun at the floor, the man pulled
the trigger, only realizing that he had placed a live shell into the
weapon’s chamber when the gun went off, spraying lead shot into the
floor, which ricocheted upward, injuring bystanders and the shooter.

Police, sheriff and fire units rushed to the scene, but fortunately,
none of the injuries suffered are believed to be life-threatening.

Resident fights off two armed robbers, The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind. 06/03/13

Posted on June 4, 2013

A resident of Fort Wayne, Ind. was near the front steps of his home when a pair of armed robbers
approached and demanded money. The resident responded to the demand by retrieving a gun and firing
at the criminals several times. One robber was struck multiple times and killed, while the other
escaped harm.

Following the shooting, Sgt. Mark Brooks of the Fort Wayne police said of the incident, “If someone
tried to rob you on your front porch… you could be justified in using force to protect yourself,
including deadly force.” A neighbor, who plans to leave the troubled south-side neighborhood where
the shooting occurred, showed support for the armed citizen, telling local media, “I carry a gun
myself, and if it was me, I’d have done the same thing.” (The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind.

Thank goodness for guns!

Trailers and trucks are at least related to towing boats which is a
common and on-topic issue.

Your anti gun screeds however are not, and this is most definitely not
your home.

Oh but it is Wayne. Just as much as it is yours.

Boats and guns go together like beans and rice. I need a gun to
protect my boat.

I'm thinkin' because my boat sits in a locked garage, maybe I don't
need a gun after all.
