Kingfish note: What's the point of having a gun show if you can't shoot?

There is no such thing as an "accidental" shooting. They are intentional or negligent.
Chowke comments/press release about those root-of-all-evil gun shows in 3, 2, 1...
Chokwe busy setting up M bar guy and others….HE’s HOT!!!
Relax Peeps - It was just Stokes. Shootin' off his mouth.
It wasn’t Heather, was it?
Redundant
Always treat a gun like it's loaded and check for that round in the chamber.
Self inflicted wounds are the worst kind
@kingfish BINGO 👍
9:29 is exactly right
@9:31 PM is right on. Chowke will use this event in another attempt to abolish gun shows in Jackson. An unarmed society is much easier to control. Right?
" Chowke will use this event in another attempt to abolish gun shows in Jackson."
Except for the dope boys.
"There is no such thing as an 'accidental' shooting. They are intentional or negligent."
Not factual or legally correct with the "no such thing" wording. For example, a Remington 700 with a defective trigger assembly could result in an "accidental" discharge/shooting *IF* it occurred at a time and place where it was reasonable for the rifle to have one up the pipe.
However, in general terms and with no more information, if the weapon should not have been "loaded," even in the feeding mechanism much less the chamber, such that the weapon being "loaded" is itself negligent, "accident(al)" discharge/shooting is pretty much off the table (pardon the gun show pun).
Children below a certain age (can't remember the exact age) are legally incapable of negligence. So if a child of that age shoots someone it would be, indeed, be accidental.
being muzzled at crowded shows bothers me, makes attending harder, always moving or ducking.
Kingfish - Any follow-up on this shooting, like: who, when, why, outcome, etc.? I know, stupid question.
