20 year old apparently at the store to celebrate his birthday... manages to ND with the explanation that he was attempting to lock the slide back when his finger slipped and hit the trigger. This was in the store, -NOT- on the range. Not on the range YET... as management elected to let this same guy go ahead and get some range time.
So I'm curious at this point how & why a 20-year old has a loaded handgun inside the store, not on the range.

ND at SPB in Florence, KY
I like to swap brass... and I'm looking for .32 H&R Mag, .327 Fed Mag, .380 Auto and 10mm. If you have some and would like to swap for something else, send me a note!

Re: ND at SPB in Florence, KY
Did a search for Kentucky gun laws / age, was surprised.
"Open carry is legal in Kentucky without a permit. The minimum age is 18. Some areas are off-limits, including businesses primarily devoted to the sale of alcohol."

Re: ND at SPB in Florence, KY
I stop in there occasionally to look at the used guns. They do free transfers to their locations around Cincinnati, so buying even a handgun isn't an issue.
This incident serves as a good reminder not to slip into Condition White just because you're in a gun-friendly place

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

The way I read it, the 20-yr old birthday boy was *not* the person who had an ND, but was a bystander.Sevens wrote:https://www.fox19.com/2019/05/08/man-ac ... ges-filed/

Re: ND at SPB in Florence, KY
Your editing of the original article, you linked us to, is way off and misleading! The 20 year old (Smith) had nothing to do with the ND, and I wonder why his name was even mentioned in the article?Sevens wrote:https://www.fox19.com/2019/05/08/man-ac ... ges-filed/

Mea culpa, you gents are correct and I got sucked right in to that.
The 20yr old has nothing to do with it.
