SIDNEY -- A 27-year-old man has been charged with a misdemeanor after a handgun he had on him at the Sidney Walmart discharged a round.
Kevin Wilson was a customer in the store, 2400 W. Michigan St., when his semiautomatic weapon discharged, sending a slug into the floor, Sidney police Sgt. Sean Martin said.
No one was hit.
Martin said the charge is discharging weapons, a misdemeanor.
Wilson presented his concealed carry permit and police confiscated his weapon, Martin said. Police were dispatched to the store about 5:30 p.m., he said.
The state's newest gun law overrules private business owners from banning guns on their property as long as the person is a CCW license holder and locks the weapon in his or her personal vehicle.
