I thought the guns at gun shows were required to be unloaded, which means the seller broke the law. Even if the two were friends; even if it was an accident; the seller will more than likely be charged, if for no other reason than HE'S AN IDIOT.

And with the BAFT cracking down on gun shows (for our benefit, of course) this gives them more ammunition (pun intended.)

Not old enough nor responsible enough to handle/be around guns. Period. Security failed. Vendor failed. Customer failed. End of story.
