I worked gun shows for about 5 years. I heard 4 rounds go off. Not working but visiting gun shows I heard one detonation. It was a bag of 45 reloads hitting the floor. I was 10 feet away from that. If I had not seen it, I would not believe a bag of 45 acp falling from a table onto the floor would detonate multiple rounds. I saw fragments from at least 2 rounds on the floor.

This was not clear to me what happened to the owner and the charges. I know he was a member on the forum. He was buying ammo from the trader for his store during the pandemic.
Word! Every time I go in one all the workers behind the counter are always strapped to the teeth and loaded for bear. Stupid move and just a tad suicidal.
You have for to be kidding me! I had my fair share of scrap's in my youth and I always in trouble for fighting. I can honestly say I never once thought of grabbing a gun to settle my disputes and that age I kept all the guns in my bedroom also. That just goes to show you decline in restraint these days. To go to shooting a man because he doesn't agree with you or you have a little spat with is just ridiculous. It's dumb asses like this that don't help our right to keep and bare arms. The media down there must have had a field day with that one.
Unfortunately its probably easier to draw conclusions without all the facts than to decipher what really happened.
Maybe twoooo
Well no matter what the circumstances are drawing a gun is not the answer that's for damn sure. One of them made the decision to draw and fire. Short of one employee drawing a knife and trying to stab the other or one person drew his firearm on a customer or a employee and the other fired in defense of another. Still a conscious act on someone's part to draw the gun in the first place. This just doesn't make any sense at all.
I was 2 tables over at the North Atlanta Trade Center years ago when someone dropped a bag of ammo. Several round went off. Other than the vendor closest to them having to change his pants nobody was hurt. I think they escorted the owner of the ammo out of the building. You could have heard a pin drop when they went off.
I worked at an ammunition factory, and have loaded a million plus rounds of 9mm ammo. We hade one round go off while dumping a plate of ammo in a tub for packaging. It wasn't very strong, nothing flew around, and the wall of the brass split. The primer had a very small mark on it, but it was enough to make it go bang.
Another incident was our priming machine got jammed, set off a tube of 100 primers or so, and we had to repair 4 or 5 holes in the sheet metal roof. That one was scary.

Sounds like the last showdown of the movie The good, The Bad and The Ugly.......
