5mil a year at gun shows? How many instances of an armed person walking into a bar every year?
It doesn't take many incidents at a gun show in order for the percentage to be higher. In raw numbers, I suspect you're right that more people are shot in bars than are shot at gun shows. But that doesn't necessarily make it more likely that you'll be shot at a bar than at a gun show.

The question was which place had more armed people.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Guns have not changed. If someone shoots you in the head with a single shot 22 - you will be just as dead if they shoot you with an AK47.
People have changed.
And.obviously not for the better.
Agreed. People have changed and, along with that, the gun culture in the US has changed. Which is why your Dad's experience with guns at his school isn't really relevant.

Now we are getting somewhere.
People have changed..
What caused this change?
Might finding that root cause be important?

That was the bonus question. My bad - I'm still focused on the 'Where are you least likely to get shot' question.

I'm sort of surprised you think that.
But not surprised you'd infer that I do.
Ah well ....
We've run out of debate and fell to insults.
Ops normal.

You were never interested in a debate, OLB. Every time someone actually engages in data and numbers with you, you ignore their response and pivot to a different topic. That’s not debating, lol. Not well, anyway.
