Seems a bit excessive doesn't it?
I saw that too and decided to look the other way and pretend I didn't read it.

Considering how many "uncontrollable factors" are in an average gun show I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often. I have personally witnessed 3 in 45 years of attending local shows. 2 were at the fairgrounds way back, one a .45 a vendor was handling and sent a slug into the concrete hitting several folks in the foot/ankle. The other was a .300 Blk somebody picked up and pointed at the opposite wall (sighting a laser) and bang. Both times I went on the floor. At another show I found a live 9mm ball rd in the middle of an aisle. Took it over to security who didn't gas. I thought maybe an "activist" who lost their nerve. One small caliber gun went off at the Lakeland show way back, can't remember details. With most folks "suspending the 4 rules" I look like a spaz at times avoiding the sweep of muzzle(s). Joe

empty the lizard first, & that’s what all the guys were talking about in the john like a bunch of teenage girls. GARY

Now there's one I hadn't heard before.
Back in the late 70's I had a buddy that used to say he was going to bleed his lizard when he had to take a piss...

Unlike Miami, there are no metal detectors at this show, so I am mystified why any concealed carrier ever declares a gun there.
The same Fudds who declare a CCW to police at a traffic stop. .
