Three people including a retired sheriff's deputy were wounded on Saturday at a gun show in North Carolina when a 12-gauge shotgun accidentally discharged as its owner was taking it out of its case,

C'mon man! So frikkin' careless.

Probably one of those pesky "mechanical malfunctions" that made the unloaded shotgun discharge all by itself

At least everyone knows the idiot's name.

Saturday's shooting occurred when Gary Lynn Wilson, 36, of Wilmington, North Carolina, approached the entrance of the Dixie Gun and Knife Show in Raleigh to have his personal firearm inspected.

The shotgun fired as he removed it from its case, according to a statement by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, a host of the gun show.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth... a trigger finger for a negligent discharge?

[Tripper]

hmm, is he the deputy, or was the deputy a bystander
its not uncommon for officers to keep all their firearms loaded
edit: reread it. the deputy was a bystander

Lousy timing. Thanks for giving the press another chance to mention the Sandy Hook shooting.

Violating two or more gun safety rules is the only way crap like this happens.

Rule 1. not obeyed.
Rule 2. not obeyed.
Rule 3. not obeyed.

Results= Bang! OW!

Good job loser.
