He had a permit, so was not arrested

He was not arrested but he might be charged with something. Maybe reckless endangerment? Are there laws about improper discharging of a firearm? Was their any property damage? Is so maybe Walmart will sue him for repairs.

Also scary about the newborn being in the cart of the woman that got hit.
 
I can't really argue with OB on this. Not sure why you need a loaded six shooter in your holster at all times.

Maybe one of the permit carrying dudes/chicks here can explain for me. Can you carry a loaded weapon, or does it have to be not loaded?

In Utah a person can carry a concealed weapon that is loaded with a permit (CC permit). To get the permit it requires a class and a background check. Unfortunately not a shooting class. Which is why some other states, like Nevada, do not recognize Utah CC permits.
 
I'll tell you the TSA doesn't like it. But on the plus side it took 5 guys to take me down. I owe that old lady $20 or something, she ran interference very effectively, if not entirely willingly.

Why are you loaded guns with permits? Is this for safety first chamber?

I'm not a gun owner/user. That said, it seems like committing an unintentional injury is still some sort of crime. You get a ticket if your brakes fail and you hit a car; I'm pretty sure there are charges if your car hits a person in a non-fatal injury (battery of some sort?).

I do not think give man civil offense like auto accident is very good thing. You American are too much soft on violent criminal. What you give him fifty US dollar fine and wish merry Christmas?
 
Eric, I read over the article and there's not enough information to make any sort of commentary. I mean did the guy brandish the weapon? It "fell" out of his holster? ********.

I agree that it is very unlikely that it just "fell". They are designed to prevent that. Not only that but was there structural damage to Walmart? While perhaps there will be no criminal penalties (there may still be some) there may be civil penalties. Such as him getting sued.

My only commentary was that there should be some sort of penalty, which seems to be agreed upon by the gun owners in here. As for the truth of the man's story, I have no opinion, but a thought: Do holsters do break down from time to time and need to be replaced? Could a faulty holster allow a gun to slip out/discharge?
