I opted not to go (4 hr drive each way from near Menominee)

Did I miss out?

Ya, same question here. I;m just pressed for time to get everything packed up before I move to NC. Did we really miss anything?

I was there Saturday 8:30-11:30, place was getting pretty full and toasty. Deals could be had if you were looking for the right things. I picked up a Chines SKS, one each of 100 and 75 round AK drums for a total of 380 bucks. I can get 300 for the 100 rounder alone on GB. I'm happy.

Found it:

Fond du Lac police investigate gun show shooting

Associated Press
11:31 AM CDT, October 13, 2008

FOND DU LAC, Wis. - A man received minor injuries when a gun went off during a gun show at the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds.

Fond du Lac police Lt. Aaron Goldstein says a man looking at the handgun Sunday morning didn't know how to check whether it was loaded. He says the man pulled the trigger and the gun went off.

The bullet hit another man who was part of the same group in the foot.

Goldstein says both the shooter and vendor could face charges. He says police will make a recommendation to the county prosecutor when the investigation ends.

Goldstein says it's up to vendors to make sure their guns aren't loaded.

He says responding to a shooting at a gun show is "a tactical nightmare"

I like how the police state that responding to a shooting at a gun show is a "tactical nightmare".

That is nothing less than retarded. What tactics? That should be the most relaxed place to respond. If they respond to a domestic disturbance, they have no idea what they are getting into. Responding to a gun show, all they have to do is show up with a notebook and start taking statements. An active intentional shooter would be long dead by the time they respond.....

depends on the lib media mindset. If you were to sit in a starbucks with your WiFi, reading your local liberal newspaper, you might think to yourself "oh no, they all have guns! they are going to kill everyone for no reason!"

not everyone thinks logically.

I read it to mean that he was uncomfortable because there wasn't a landslide disparity of force in his favor.

A lot of those types tend to hang out at gunshows.
