Finally Did My Wally Walk
So, I have to ask one question: Am I doing it right?
I mean, that WAS a Batman (er...BatGirl!) license that I got in the mail, right? (You may want to reference this thread: http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=38406)
Okay, here's the obligatory banana shot. I should carry one of these on my utility belt.
No one really looked at me even though I was packing AND dressed as a superhero. Plus my husband was following me around with our big honking camera...we had to have looked odd, even at Wal-mart.
I was carrying my S&W Model 60 in that fanny pack, and my husband was carrying his S&W 581 in HIS fanny pack. All in all, a good Wally Walk. McDonald's was closed so I did not get to partake of that particular portion of the Walk, but that's fine by me because even the thought of Mickey D's makes me ill. Also, it was dark so we got no photos of me putting my purchase in the trunk while facing out. Still...it was fun!

Re: Finally Did My Wally Walk
I think it helped that I wasn't wearing my glasses, so I couldn't see the few funny looks I got. Don't worry, I'm not blind without my glasses...just a little fuzzy at long distances. If I can't see clearly, it's probably too far for a good self-defense shot anyway, so I didn't feel too badly about not wearing the glasses.
It feels good to have gotten the walk out of the way, and in such style at the same time!
Wish I could have carried my 1911 but I STILL haven't had to opportunity to go to the range to shoot it, and I don't want to carry it until I'm used to it. *sigh* Guess I'll be waiting another month or so until time and money is a little more abundant.

Re: Finally Did My Wally Walk
Randomoutburst has taken the all time prize for the most attention grabbing Wally Walk ever, and she emerged with her secret intact.
She also has provided a reference point for what people find out of the ordinary enough to take notice of, and an answer to whether or not folks should shy away from carrying in a fanny pack.
GREAT JOB!

Folks tend to ignore people that stick-out of the crowd now. Cool wally-walk.

P.S...randomoutburst , those bananas look pretty good. The ones in my Walmart are always green.

It looked to me like you had your finger on the trigger.
