5 injured after firearms go off at Ohio, N.C., Indiana gun shows
(CNN) -- At least five people -- three in North Carolina, one in Indiana and one in Ohio -- were injured after weapons went off at gun shows Saturday, officials said, at a time when there's been renewed discussion about private gun sales at such shows...
...Saturday's incidents occurred on 'Gun Appreciation Day," an event led by a gun rights group that urged Americans to "go to your local gun store, gun range or gun show with your Constitution, American flags and your 'Hands off my Guns' sign to send a loud and clear message."
Probably should have called it "Emergency Room Appreciation Day".

Heller affirmed membership in a militia isn't required to keep and bear arms. It is an individual right.
