Firearms dealer shoots woman while teaching concealed carry safety at PA gun show

Well, I, for one, feel much safer knowing that a gun dealer who is teaching someone how to safely conceal carry isn't smart enough to do so without shooting her in the process. Yeah, let's make sure all these fools are walking around armed. What could go wrong?
One accident.....GRAB ALL GUNS!!!!!!!

Don't know. How many guns shot people this year? How many knives stabbed somebody this year?

what's the old carpenter's motto, measure twice, cut once? Maybe this guy was never a carpenter.

I wonder if this dealer received guns from a trusted partner and just assumed they were unloaded, or did he do this to himself. Either way, it's what happens sometimes to people who let their guard down, they become complacent.

I suggest you to read the history books or google "cult" or "domestic terrorists."


"Motivated by his hatred of the federal government and angered by what he perceived as its mishandling of the 1993 Waco siege and the Ruby Ridge incident in 1992, McVeigh timed his attack to coincide with the second anniversary of the deadly fire that ended the siege at Waco."

You know, if we'd taken away the freedom of speech, nobody would broadcast any information about Waco or Ruby Ridge, then hundreds of people in OK city would still be alive.

Wasn't there a case where a congressman died in some religious mass suicide? Freedom of religion is dangerous!!! More people are killed in the name of god(s) than anything else.

Oh, was there a girl who committed suicide because of online bully? Oh, she's Canadian so it doesn't count.

Don't tell me words don't kill people.

You owe it to yourself to watch the film "A Noble Lie".

Yeah....we clearly need to update that
I could get behind that. Of course, that would disqualify a whole lot of people from carrying a weapon...

Yet despite this, he still is allowed to carry a concealed weapon. That's the real problem here.
Highly skilled people end up maiming and killing people in all kinds of professions. A lot of times it's simply due to them being a little too comfortable in what they are doing after years and years.

French soldier shoots into crowd with automatic weapon : 17 people injured including 5 children, baby shot in heart and arm.


"A military exercise staged for the public in the south of France turned into a bloodbath after a soldier fired live rounds instead of blanks into the crowd."
