NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. — A local Walmart shopper faces the potential loss of her license to carry a firearm, after the gun in her purse ‘misfired’ while she was in the checkout line at a Walmart in Northborough.
The gun owner, a 31-year-old woman from Worcester told police she mistakenly fired her 9mm handgun, while digging through her purse at the cashier.

Investigators say “the licensing authority was notified for purposes of review and possible revocation” and the appropriate state agency was notified since the woman’s toddler was with her.
At least the kid was unharmed.
And nobody in the area was hurt.
Fortunately.
