Gun Enthusiasts Flock to OKC Gun Show

The
Claude Halls Original OKC gun show opened this weekend to wall to wall people
at the Oklahoma City fairgrounds. "There are a lot of people today, that
are worried," Vender and gun manufacturer Rick Stowers said.

Stowers
said under current law gun applicants must provide identification, fill out
paperwork from the Justice department and pass a background check, "They
can say approved, delayed or denied," Stowers continued, "The first
thing I ask someone (when they buy a gun) is what are you going to do with
it?" Stowers explained this is what he calls one of the most important
questions. Stowers would not like to see more gun laws passed across the
country, but he says he'd like to see more control on who can and can not sell
guns, such as what he calls big box stores, "They are allowing someone
they don't trust with the key to the waste-bin to make a decision on whether or
not to sell a firearm," Stowers said.

Other
patrons think there are enough laws already in place to protect Americans,
"I came in to see what kind of deals there might be and take advantage of
them while I can," Mark Bailey said. He's here to likely trade in a
firearm. "As a criminal defense attorney I understand both sides of it, but
I can tell you from experience that criminals are going to get guns, you can't
legislate human behavior."

Gun
enthusiasts are leery of what is to come when it comes to gun control but are
worried what is to come, "Everyone understands tragedy, but to take
tragedy and form a political agenda, is a shame," Bailey added.

 The
Claude Halls Original OKC gun show runs in the expo center at the OKC
fairgrounds through Sunday, December 16th.
