Two men are recovering from gunshot wounds after an accidental discharge in the parking lot of the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy where the International Sportsmen's Expo was being held.
According to Jason Nielsen from the Sandy Police Department, the two adult men were sitting in their car at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday when one tried to hand a firearm off to the other.
The gun discharged hitting one man in the hand, ricocheting and hitting the other man in the leg.
Both were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The report does not say that the men just purchased the gun at the Sportsmen's Expo but that is likely the case.
Which would mean that almost immediately after purchasing a weapon for protection they were injured by gun fire which could have potentially ended their lives.
There has got to be a lesson here somewhere.
