The Des Moines Register reports:
An Iowa gun dealer was hospitalized after he accidentally
shot himself in the hand before a gun show Friday afternoon at the Iowa
State Fairgrounds.
The 54-year-old St. Charles resident told police he was showing off a
.25 caliber pistol he thought was unloaded when he slid the action of
the gun causing it to fire. The bullet went through his left palm,
according to a Polk County Sheriff’s report.
Writing on
Taylor Marsh, Joyce Arnold asks, seeing as how this is the 4th accidental shooting at a gun show since Gun Appreciation Day:
Question: I wonder if things like this happen regularly, or is it just
being reported now, because of the actual, deadly mass shootings forcing
attention?
