Vendor Shoots Himself At Loveland Gun Show

Gun Vendor's Weapon Accidentally Discharges

POSTED: 11:15 am MDT September 8, 2009

Loveland police have filed charges against a man who accidentally shot himself during a weekend gun show.

Michael Kole, 59, was a vendor at the Premier Expo gun show at the Embassy Suites Hotel, at 4705 Clydesdale Parkway, when police said a firearm he was showing discharged, striking him in the leg.

No one else was injured as a result of the accidental shooting. It was not clear what type of weapon Kole was shot with.

Police said Kole was charged with reckless endangerment. His hometown was not available but he is from Colorado, police said.

The gun and sportsman show was sponsored by Premier Expo, which is based in Eaton, Colo. The company has a directive on its Web site that says, "There will be no ammunition (live, spent, blank, decorator, or anything that could be construed as ammunition) placed in any clip, magazine, cylinder, chamber, or barrel."
