Why do headline writers like to overstate things? Air guns are not toys, tho I will admit some mistakenly think so, apparently including the victim here.
He was holding an air gun being sold by a store that sells air guns in the section of the store that sells air guns, right? Why should that be disallowed?
The article indicated he was shot in the toy section, which unless Ohio Wal-Marts are laid out considerably differently from any other Wal-Mart I have been in, is not the section that has the air guns. Air guns are not toys folks, and they do not have the day-glow orange marking toy guns are required to have.
Regardless, Ohio is an open-carry state.
