wally walk

Ok, I gotta ask. Why is it called "the wally walk"? I have carried before(virginia) so once I get my plastic, will I still take a "wally walk" or am I exempt.

It's called the "wally walk" because you're supposed to do it at Wal-Mart. You're specifically supposed to do it at Wal-Mart because they sell ammo and nachos.

THere was no such thing as a Wally Walk when I started carrying. It is supposed to be at Wally World because there you will be subjected to a crowd, in an invironment that may or may NOT be friendly to carry, & can do several things to give practice.
Walk around in the crowd.
Eat, stand in line, sit,
Buy your ammo.

If you did not carry regular in Va. then you need to be initiated into the 24-7 where legal club, here in Texas.
If you did carry daily in Va. then I consider you exempt since you will wind up there anyway some day.
Welcome aboard.

yeah, I carried legally, almost evrywhere I went when I was in Virginia. Of course the last time I carried legally was in 2000. So I guess I will take a "walk" anyway. Once I get my plastic

I would certainly understand passing on the Wal-Mart nachos, but you have to eat something messy, like barbeque or fried chicken.

Alright I'll see what they have when it's time.

You can substitute anything that requires you to get both hands dirty, then get up for napkins without adjusting your gear/clothing.

See, and here I thought the point of the nachos was to cause you to have to run to the restroom 5 minutes later; thus forcing you to deal with the awkward situation of how to keep your weapon out of the toilet bowl in a public setting. Silly me...

I must admit, the restroom is quite a challenge until you discover what works best for you.

Wouldn't it be funny if your CHL had to be "activated", much like a credit card in the mail, at the Wal-Mart ammo counter by doing your Wally Walk?

I can see it now, you approach the ammo counter (after 8 calls over the PA system for an employee to help you). Here's how it goes:

You: "Hi, I need a box of ammo and a, uhhhhhhh.....CHL activation."
Clerk: "Okay, I'll need to see a picture ID, your CHL, and a receipt for your nachos."

Perhaps the clerk would waive the nacho receipt requirement if you have cheese stuck to your chin.

Funny but that would really be a catch-22 type of situation. I mean if you had to carry unlicensed in order to become licensed.

Yeah, probably like driving to the DMV to get your driver's license!
