WTF?
I’ve been going to gun shows since Christ was a D-class shooter in IPSC, and I’ve never seen one which didn’t have a security station where they insured that you were UNLOADED before entering the show.
I know this is nothing new (you have so many “booger hook” references I’m overwhelmed) but really .. how many people have to foul up to allow this to happen?
No, I don’t care much about the idiot who shot his ass off …. that’s a Darwinian Moment. But I’m really concerned about how this makes the rest of us look!
UPDATE: Okay, I went back and actually READ the article more carefully:
” … a 62-year-old man was leaving the expo center when he holstered his .40 caliber handgun. ”
Imagine that. Leaving a gun show, he must be very embarrassed. I hope.

If they hadn’t required him to manipulate his pistol and it had remained in the holster the entire time it would not have gone off.

Good thing they had him clear his pistol and check it before he went in… otherwise he might have shot himself.
Layers and layers of gun safety.
