It is the responsibility of EVERY person who handles the weapon to make sure it is clear. You NEVER hand a loaded weapon to another person. You hand them a weapon with an open breech and a separate clip/ammo. If someone hands me a weapon with a closed breech, I open it and check it first thing. Even if I just saw them check it I still look. As I said, no room for error or mistakes with firearms.

Unbelievable. If you do not know how to clear a weapon, you have no business picking it up....much less transporting it and carrying it to a gun show. The cop screwed up for sure but you are going to have liability in this as well. I am "blown away" that you would post all of this in a public forum with upcoming litigation. Thank god nothing worse happened. People that do not know how to handle weapons under thier control endanger everyone around them. I am not knocking you for not knowing how to operate a certain type of weapon, but you execised poor judgement by handling, transporting, and carrying a loaded weapon into a public place with signs plastered all over the walls "NO LOADED FIREARMS".

Remember Judges were lawyers too, they are the ultimate leaches. Without a healthy body to vacuum life out of they would die.

This is exactly why gun control was invented.
Carrying around a bag of guns like a sack of potatoes IS criminal!!
Good luck with the lawsuit!

First of all I was told they were "almost positive" weren't loaded because the old guy had them since he was young and never, ever shot them. I was leary of them but took them like they were collectors items. That's why I didn't handle the guns myself. I was told to go to the gun show so "professionals" could inspect them for me safetly.
They were kept in a locked duffle bag- like an old money bag. Each gun was in it's own case. I specifically told the officer I didn't know for sure if they were loaded or not. He even said "that's what we are here for". I handed the guns inside the cases to the officer.
The gun in question was about 100 years old. It looked like something hanging on the wall in Cracker barrel.
The cop grabbed the last case from my hand.
Don't convict me. I wasn't convicted for a reason. Obviously if i wasn't arrested or even named in the suit other than a witness for the victims I shouldn't be persecuted here.
After this incident my wife and myself took gun safety classes ands we now we both have concealed weapon permits.
