Stopped in to meet some old buddies as this show is not good,small not much there. Was walking out when loud BOOOM and smoke over in corner.  Checked and no holes in me. Asked a vendor WTH was that and he said a customer bought a flare gun and decided to load it and try it out.  No one hurt but I bet the Dollar General Store near by had a rush on underwear.

I've been attending gun shows since about 1975 and have been present for two negligent discharges of handguns, but never for a flare gun.  It must have been...enlightening.  😆

As if you needed another reason to avoid Great American gun shows beforehand. They’ve been a consistent waste of time & gas, and the promoter is almost always having a verbal altercation with a vendor or attendee.

He is sure to get flamed for it for some time I bet.

That's certainly not a glowing review of Great American. But look on the bright side. It may spark some good discussions on safety.

I bet I haven't been to a gun show in nearly 15 years.  I assume that there are some good ones, maybe even great ones in other parts of the country, but all of the ones I've been to were rather... cringey.

The only good one in TN is RK Knoxville. I only get to it once a year when I can stay with family.
