ORLANDO — A Walt Disney World park guest found a loaded gun in the seat of a ride at the Animal Kingdom that had fallen out of a man's back pocket on Sunday.

A grandmother handed a Cobra .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol about noon to a park attendant, who immediately contacted security and the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

A young boy said, "My grandma found it in her seat," the report stated.

The owner, Angelo Lista, 44, of Royal Palm Beach, Fla., said the firearm – which had five hollow point bullets inside - fell out of his back pocket during the bumpy Dinosaur ride, according to a Sheriff's Office incident report.

Deputies unloaded and confiscated the weapon.

Lista has a valid Florida concealed weapons permit and told authorities he did not know he was supposed to tell Disney security because there are no signs posted about firearms.

According to the report, Lista thought the security bag checks were for explosives not guns. He said he was not aware guests were not allowed to bring guns inside the parks.
