Police Murder Man With Toy Gun in Wal-Mart.

12. The point is you can take about five or six steps and get from

pellet guns to toys. It's virtually in the same part of the giant enclosure without walls or clear departments that is Walmart. The police should have realized the gun was not out of place in a customer's hands in that part of the store and neither should whoever it was in the store who made the call to 911. And a pellet gun isn't a real gun either. Walmart also sells the Daisy Red Ryder bb gun, the same one in A Christmas Story that the little kid bugged his parents about. I guess a black man who picks one up could shoot someone's eye out. And if he visits the cutlery section and examines the steak knives, he could throw one at someone's face. If all he did was examine the pellet gun though, it's hard to justify calling 911. I would guess everyone buying such a gun will take it out of its box to look at it, considering that if you ever go to Walmart and look at the shelves, almost all the boxes of any product have been opened by customers to examine the contents.
