Well thank Goodness that your firearm didn't jump up and start firing at people. That would have been awful.

FYI:

The Seattle Center House is no longer sporting the "No Firearms are permitted at this event or on these premises" signs at its entrances. I noticed their removal a few days ago and the sticker goo is still on the walls.

I recall seeing them go up for one of the festivals last summer.
