[Vision2020] Accidental discharge at Idaho gun show injures 2

[NANCE CECCARELLI]

As an avid upland bird hunter, sportsman, gun owner, and former division
director for the NRA, this story (and others like it) sicken and irritate
me.

And, we wonder why non-gun-owning persons in society feel the need for
greater protections through regulation...

Obviously, it isn't just criminals and those adjudicated mentally
incompetent who make SERIOUS mistakes and have lapses in good or smart or
law-abiding behaviors.
