A large part of the ignorance in my opinion is in a store that would hire a clerk who was stupid enough to load a gun and then shoot it off inside of building where you never know if there are other people or not and obviously not train him well enough to know what he should or should not do!!
The other part of the ignorance lies in what kind of an idiot would do such a thing!! Common sense would tell you not to, even if there was no store policy giving direction one way or the other!! Total idiot!
I don't know how old this clerk was. Wish I had thought to ask Dave that question when he was telling us about this. But frankly, at 10 I would have known never, ever to have loaded a gun inside of a Walmart store!!
One of the reasons we would have known even as children not to do something like this is BECAUSE my father was a hunter and owned guns and kept them in our house. But he taught us a very healthy respect for their power from a very early age. We knew where the guns were kept (and LOCKED) and we knew where the ammo was kept (and LOCKED - separate from the guns!) and we knew if we had touched either one we wouldn't be sitting down for a month!! Honestly, it scares me to think that too many kids today are not being taught that kind of respect for guns.
We had a 4 year old boy just north of us last week who found a loaded gun in the closet and shot himself in the head with it. We knew, even at 4, that if you even saw a gun somewhere, you went and got an adult. NEVER, ever touch it!!
