I am sad to hear that. I have known Walter for around 35 years. He often pretended to be grumpy, feeling that being too nice was a weakness.

He genuinely was a nice guy with a good heart.

His family has been in Waltham for generations. They usto own a convince store on Moody Street, as well.

Many police departments throughout the state have purchased their weapons through Walter.

Long before opening his Law Enforcement Supply store; Walter usto go into my grandfathers gun store which was on Moody Street in the1950's with his father.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

i met him a couple times through guys that were close to him. seemed friendly and out going with those he knew well, could be "stand-offish" to others. i never had been to the shop. don't know how true it was but i heard it was le only and you needed to be lettered to buy guns.

RIP. I think I bought my PPS from him.

If you can't say anything at all good about someone who just passed, you should keep your mouth shut.

Therefore, I will keep my mouth firmly shut.

I've been in there a few times, and the guys were always quite friendly. Their prices were higher than average, but he gave a good deal on a revolver once.

Not true.

Yes there were certain models that were L.E. Only because of the Massachusetts Tyrannical List;

But anything on the list he would sell to ANYBODY who was a licensed.

Walter was a very nice guy. Sad to hear of his passing

If he was pretending to be a dick to new customers he pulled it off pretty well. Went in once years ago and left knowing I wouldn’t be back. It was very “Gun Room” - esque.
