Two men shot in accidental discharge at Lee County gun show
Two men were wounded at the Lee Civic Center on Sunday after a gun accidentally discharged while it was being reloaded.

The shooting happened during a Florida Gun Show event at the east Lee County venue.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office said that one man was reloading a gun when the weapon discharged. The shot hit the man's finger and the bullet then wounded the foot of a friend of the gun owner's standing nearby.

Probably unloaded and zip ties pistol prior to entry. ND when reloading on way out. Complacency is the enemy.

Well at least they followed the first rule of gun safety, it kept Somone from being killed. Next time take note of rule number 3 it's very helpful at avoiding this situation.

Bingo!

Who the heck ever puts their hand in front of a barrel when reloading, unloading, shooting, storing.....ever?

Hell...when I have to remove the barrel bushing from the front of my 1911s, I check that the mag well is empty and then rack and inspect the chamber MANY times, first.

According to the reports..The accident happened in the parking lot of the Lee gun show.
The idiot puts his finger in front of the muzzle while reloading/unloading.?

My guess is that the owner had the gun aimed downward when it discharged- shooting his finger(idiot had finger over muzzle) & his friend's foot (the "other guy" was his friend.)
