As if Illinois wasn't bad enough about guns I can only guess how they will use this to clamp down even further.
There was what appears to be a shooting accident on Saturday at a gun show in Bloomington, Illinois. A rifle went off as a person attending the show put it down on a vendor’s table. The bullet hit wood and two persons were hit by flying wood. One person had small wounds from the flying wood and refused medical treatment. But, another man was hit by the flying wood and what is believed to be a .223 round. The bullet went through his arm and then struck another person.
Isn't there some kind of rule that you always assume a gun is loaded or something? (sarcasm intentional) Those genius vendors are going to find out the hard way about liability.
