If a 12ga goes off in a crowded gun store....

And there are 50 people standing around to hear it. How loud is it?
Really, really, really loud.
Standing in line at the gun counter at Van's Sporting Goods in Brandon, MS just now and a guy fired into the ceiling.
Van came out of the back and said: "Well, 23 years it was bound to happen!"
Someone else added: "Of course it's gonna rain tonight."
Y'all be careful out there.

my god how do you not check you gun before taking it in a store?

Curious what he was doing when it fired? I’m guessing it was a gun a customer brought in and not one they were selling?
Maybe he was aiming it trying out a new sight or pad and pulled the trigger? Very easily could have killed somebody

That could possibly have gone real badly for a lot of people. Glad they were at least pointing it in a safe direction.
If I was the store owner, that hole stays there with a sign warning future customers.

It’s ok everyone on here knows that fine shot is not deadly for home defense in ranges that you would see at your house .
Looks like it would have just stung a bit....

True story. Hunting in Meeker, CO for the past 12 years. We stay on a ranch in trailer and there are 4 of us in 1 long room. 5 years ago we were finished hunting and packing up. Friend of mine I have hunted with for years stuck his .300 Win Mag into a Pelican case and it went off. Thank god it was pointed down at the floor when it went off. Blew the end of the case off and right through the floor. EXTREMELY Loud... deafening in that small room. Entire place was filled with a blueish acrid smoke and 4 stunned hunters.
Scary and loud. Never want to be around anything like that again.

Glad it wasn’t an AR. They’d have to condemn the building.

Holy shite. There’s 30 people at that gun counter at all times. Glad no one was hit

Was at Simmons in Bastrop about 15 years ago buying new arrows. Came time to draw my bow back to get a measurement on the arrow and I had forgot my release. Guy gives me one that was laying on the counter and at half draw the release pops off the string, hits me in the chin drawing blood, arrow with no tip flies about 50’ thru the store and sticks into a Columbia jacket. Scared the hell out of both of us.

So was it a gun that someone brought in to see about selling or trading, or did it come off the used rack?
If the latter, then frick. Probably won’t be allowed to go behind the counter and peruse the used guns anymore.
Eta: On second thought though, maybe not. Van and company don’t seem like the kind of guys that would say oh well one idiot ruins it for the rest of y’all.

Nothing louder than a click when it should boom and a boom when it should click.

I always assume every gun is loaded and ready to rumble.
I know when I say mine is empty it’s empty. My OCD causes me to check it every 1-2 minutes just because of shite like this

It's like all the deer pics you see with the barrel of the gun pointed at the hunter or some kid, I cringe every time.
Like this 23 years and it's bound to happen

Good Lord...
I am insane about checking my firearm to make sure it doesn't have a round chambered
