Wally...Well, Albertson's walk

[RPBrown]

It has happened to most of us. Thats why I try to tell those waiting on the plastic to wear it around the house. This will let you know what works and what doesn't and gets you more comfortable being armed so when the day comes, they will be ready. This comes from first hand knowledge of the same issues.

Now that the first one is out of the way, you still have to do the Wally Walk. More crowded and more rude people to deal with (thats why I refuse to go there anymore).

Yea, tell me about Walmart. I reserve a special kind of hatred for that place, especially come check-out time. Is there a single store in this country more ridiculous when it comes to apportioning workers to registers? I think that they almost do it on purpose, for some twisted, sick fun. There are many tens, if not hundreds of workers in any random Walmart on any given day. Put some more of them on the registers!!! How hard is that? But they sure are convenient when you need that random thing on any random hour of the day... Damn you Walmart!

Most of the workers, that are not on registers, are specially trained to spot potential eye contact or customer body language that signifes the possible need for help. They are trained to turn away with flash and grace in a manner that leaves one confused as to whether or not they could possible have known you needed help. They are also specifically trained in escape and evasion technique that makes it nearly impossible to track one of them down if you decide to go for it.

Thanks brother. Yea, luckily I didn't "expose" myself, but I still felt as if i was naked. It's gotten better since then. I still don't carry all the time, but I'm getting there.

That's funny. My brother used to work for WalMart and the only special training I can think of that he received was how to arrange items on a shelf so they face front and are lined up properly.

He was one of the minions that actually works, but then has to say, "Sorry, I don't work in this (or that) department, let me find someone who does". But they have no more luck tracking down one of the other guys because the other guys are trained to avoid the actual workers.

I will say that it's my first walk today after getting plastic yesterday and it's a different feeling. I have never done this before but I chose a seat in the corner of my local coffee shop. I have always sat in the corner where I can see the door but never carrying. Just a different experience and have stood up 4 times just to make sure it's still there. With time I have here it's easier on the nerves. Congrats to all. I am headed to doy Wally walk at best buy!

Thanks to all who carry and continue to do so.

+1 on carrying around the house. I already feel like something is missing if i don't have my gun. I started out at the range I fired at least 500 rounds until I felt I was 100% with it. Then I shopped for holsters I chose to carry owb I tried several things until I was comfortable with it. Then I walked around the house and made no mention to anyone here that I had it. They didn't notice it at all. Then I tried it on my neighbor when he came over. Nothing. I told them all and they had no clue. So mission accomplished.

I figure the biggest give away that I have a gun will be my own nerves. Constantly checking my side etc. Now I don't even think about it still waiting for my plastic though.
