#423 Come for the Low Prices, Stay for the Nimrods Shooting Themselves in the Checkout...

Pistol-packing people of Walmart: Indiana man charged after gun goes off in checkout line, the article does not say he was fondling the gun absentmindedly while waiting to pay for his pre-landfill Made in China schlock but I'm going to presume he was.

This idiot, Kenneth Pirtle, is lucky he didn't kill himself or someone else with his poor firearm safety habits. If your gun is loaded and ready to fire in your pocket then you had better take precautions to avoid unintentional discharges. Keeping a round in the chamber and the safety off sounds badass but it is really just dumb as hell.

And let's note, this was a 65 year old man who accidentally fired his weapon while waiting in a checkout line at Walmart. Last I checked, Walmart isn't a seriously dangerous place to shop but maybe it is, I don't know. I do know that needing a gun to go shopping at Walmart would be a strong indicator to me that their deals aren't really worth it (hint, they never are worth it).

And yet another good reason to stay away from Wally World altogether (the Walton family is another reason, they are the tightest billionaires on the planet, donating a paltry 0.04% of their fortunes).
