Having owned a PPK in .32 ACP once, let's give the employee
the benefit of the doubt on that score (only, the behavior
was still clearly unsafe).

The PPK I had would fire if pressed just right on the frame
(the Nambu scenario). I took it back to the shop, reported
the problem, and traded it.

I've also had different firearms slam-fire on bolt-close or
slide-release. A weapon always needs to be pointed in a
safe direction whenever a round is being chambered.

Definitely a case of pulling the trigger. Too many people keep their finger on the trigger when holding a gun for some unknown reason. Walther PPK has been around for a long time. I'd think we would of heard about any problems a long time ago. If the guy is stupid enough to load a gun inside the store, my money says he was stupid enough to keep his hand on the trigger when he cycled the action and was unprepared for the cycling force when it went off.
