Now, if no one else is going to say it, let me be the voice of reason-
Op Shit Happens every day and to leave a gunstoreand/or not do business with them because of such an incident is a bit childish IMHO.
You are assuming everyone in gun stores is going to follow good safety rules like you do? Bad assumption IMO. If a sales person hands a loaded gun to a customer who doesn't follow good safety rules, you're looking at trouble. That's a store I wouldn't shop at either. That sales person is responsible for making sure the gun is unloaded rather than assuming the customer is going to be safe.

Years ago, I was at Tanner when there was a negligent discharge inside the show...I haven't been back.
