Man shot at Ohio gunshow

COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a break-in that happened just after 2:00 a.m. Sunday.

Detectives say two men broke into a service door at the loading dock of the vacant J.C. Penney building at Westland Mall in West
Columbus. The building was hosting a gun show sponsored by C&E, which is a company based in Virginia.

Once inside, detectives say, an armed overnight security guard confronted the men. The suspects assaulted the guard, knocking him to the ground. The guard fired his weapon as the men fled the building. Investigators believe at least one of the men was shot.

Deputies searched the area extensively, with the help of K-9 dogs and officers from the Franklin Township Police Department. A Columbus Police helicopter also joined the search, but the suspects weren’t immediately found.

Columbus area hospitals are on alert for anyone seeking treatment for a gunshot wound.

Sunday was the last day of the two-day gun show, which remained closed while organizers did inventory. Deputies say all of the guns are accounted for. Many
attendees and vendors had to wait outside while authorities conducted their investigation.

The magical empowerment powers of several tons of assembled guns must be absolutely overempoweringly powerful . Something akin to 1930's marihuana which caused "instant murderous toxic insanity with as little as one dose " only to later increase in potency tenfold every presidential administration since Nixon (No word from this admin yet). I have maintained for the longest that one can be high or one can be stupid , but not both at the same time . Perhaps there is something to this in regards to instant firearms intoxication wherein something in the make up of these innocent bystander makes them subject to the control of adulterated iron molecules arranged into clever shapes .

1. I note the robbers broke-in when no gun-owners/buyers were around...

wonder why?

2. What?

"I have maintained for the longest that one can be high or one can be stupid, but not both at the same time."

3. I know you were high

But can you recall any recent mention of ..... "todays marihuana being 10 times more potent than that of just ten years ago " ?

5. Whenever I read that quote

I laugh. Some pot in the 70's was a gazillion times more potent than the best you can find now.

4. I thought from the title, it was during an active show.

All I could think was "wow, can you be that stupid."

I'd bet dollars to donuts that if someone pulled a piece at an active show, those little yellow zip ties would come off faster than you every thought possible.

I would guess its probably more the magical empowerment powers of several tons of perceived easy profit.

6. I believe that the gun pile creates a field emitting latticework not unlike a modern nuclear reactor

The immense strength of the field generated by the gun pile radiation can cause severe behavioral anomalies in those unfortunate to be trapped within the non-event horizon. This can include, but is not limited to, Optical Rectalitis (this occurs when the intense field strength causes the optic and rectal nerves to short out, resulting in a shitty outlook), L.A. Elbow (this dreaded condition causes severe deformation of the elbow joint which results in horizontal weapon displays used both for carjacking and freeway lane changes), and Safety Foot (seems to be rampant around wilderness areas and large caches of alcoholic beverages and is easily spread to gun shows. Easy to spot by the limping gate, missing toes and unfamiliarity with the single action concept.
These are just a FEW of the things than can happen if you get to close to the Gun Field! Don't let it happen to you!
