This is a classic Walmart story. Where else could you spend 6 hrs using chemicals off the shelf cooking Meth in the isles without getting busted or anyone asking questions? LOL

Police in Tulsa Oklahoma arrested a 45-year-old women building a meth lab on a shelf in a Walmart store. Store cameras verified that she had gathered the required chemicals for methamphetamine in the Wal-Mart for over 6 hours and was starting to mix it up.
I can tell you that Meth lab chemicals are extremely volatile when mixed. During the arrest one police officer suffered minor injuries when the chemicals burned his hands. Just mixing the ingredients can ignite and cause an explosion. Just to give you an example of the volatility, she was mixing up sulfuric acid with starter fluid when caught.
Unfortunately many meth labs are found due to a result of fire or explosion. During a busy Christmas shopping season this woman mixing up a such a concoction could have been disastrous had it caused an explosion. Mixing these different chemicals also forms toxic compounds and byproducts resulting in toxic fumes and vapors. It’s like making a small bomb in the store.
A good practice would be for stores to have these volatile chemicals behind the counter and not readily available readily on store shelves, especially since they caught a guy in that very same store a few months ago with a small meth lab in his back pack.
