PD: Man arrested after discharging gun inside Walmart Reported by: Samantha Fitzgerald
EL MIRAGE, AZ -- A west Valley Wal-Mart customer was arrested Thursday after accidentally firing a round while playing with his pistol inside the store.
El Mirage Police Department spokesman Robert Peoples said officers were dispatched to the store near Thunderbird and Dysart roads after a call came in that shots had been fired.
While officers were en route, they discovered no one had been injured and that the store manager was standing with the suspect.
Peoples said the suspect was identified as 30-year-old David Walters, of Surprise.
During the officer's investigation, witnesses said Walters entered the store carrying a semi automatic pistol in a holster.
According to witnesses, Walters continually "messed" with the gun while it was in the holster. He would reportedly holster and un-holster the gun, which made the other customers and employees nervous.

He may stop off to do some gambling in Show Low, not far from home.

“As Walters stood at the electronics counter talking to the clerk, he pulled the gun out of the holster and thumbed through some nearby magazines, Peoples said.”
“Walters reportedly approached the checkout lane and while standing at the end of the counter, he pulled the gun out of his holster again. Upon pulling the gun out of the holster, a magazine dislodged and fell on the floor.”
This moron deserves everything that’s coming to him. A firearm is not a friggin’ toy to be brought for Show and Tell Day. Idiots like this threaten the safety of those around them and puts the rights of millions of law-abiding, safety-conscious gun owners in jeopardy.

Ron, You missed the part about him being a "nuclear energy expert"! I know you probably thought just like me that with a puss like his no one would believe you if that part of his experience had been included.
Maybe when he gets out of the slammer he will have graduated to Rocket Scientist
Then again, I don't hold out much hope for that either.

Residents of Uncertain, Texas, remain skeptical...Second reference to Surprise, AZ that I've seen today. Real estate lady on TODAY featured a home there. Researched how they got their name. They got it from Surprise, NE.

Wonder if he was a CCW holder or if he was using the open carry law that says he doesn’t have to have a permit. Sounds like an inexperienced “kid” to me.
