Geez this is twice this week my town made the news for stupid people. I'm all for the right to bear arms, I own my own gun and I've always cherished the way NH viewed those rights but it is people like this that make it rough for the law abiding citizen to keep his rights protected ..
For the record this is the Walmart my wife and I shop at and I believe we were in the store on this particular day, I just do not know if this happened anywhere near that time ..

HUDSON, N.H. -- What do you do with the gun in your pants when you go to the john?
Police in Hudson, N.H., have charged Charles Masterson, 36, with felony reckless conduct after his pistol went off in a Wal-Mart restroom. Masterson said he was pointing his Glock semiautomatic toward the ceiling, just as he had been taught was the safest thing to do when a gun wasn't being used. The precaution backfired when the gun discharged Tuesday night while Masterson was in the bathroom.
Police said the gunshot scared the wits out of a teenage Wal-Mart employee in the next stall. The young Wal-Mart worker told police Masterson put the gun back in his pants and walked out of the bathroom like nothing happened. Wal-Mart employees called police.
Police charged him for putting the teenage employee in danger. Masterson's 13-year-old son also was in the bathroom.
He was jailed overnight but released Wednesday after a court appearance.
