I would suggest that the walk require the purchase of a large amount of ammo so that you get the full scrutiny of the population as you walk around with a bag o' bullets. No better test than the eyes of people who are actively wondering if you're carrying.
6) Meal Time! If your WallyWorld serves Nachos, go ahead and get yourself a big serving of the suckers and wash it down with a Sam’s cola. If McD’s is the choice at the premises, get fries, onion rings, apple pie and a large Coke. ALL MEALS MUST BE CONSUMED ON SITE! No To-Go’s or you will be disqualified.
What if your WallyWorld has Subway (I know NC has these, but I don't know about TX.)? Footlong meatball to make your marinara-covered fingers useless for fidgeting?

I can honestly say that I carry my gun 99% of the time and I have a spare mag and flashlight 98% of the time. With my luck, the day I don't i will be sorry.

If you put #6 before #2, it makes #10 a much more real possibility, especially if the nachos are involved...

The idea is to become comfortable with carrying in public as well as testing your carry/concealment method.
Why Walmart?...why not. ;-)

Rules...



1) You must park your vehicle at least 50 yards from the entrance of a regular WallyWorld (75 yards for a SuperCenter.) As you head for the entrance, you must perform a scan of the area including checking under parked vehicles for BG’s (Bad Guys.) Remember, grandma in an electric wheelchair is not a drive-by threat.

1A). Upon exiting car, surrepititiously adjust sidearm. Now don't touch it again unless your pants are about to fall off. Then tighten your belt

2) You MUST drive the shopping cart. No substitutes are allowed. Negotiating aisles full of screaming kids dropping cans of Chef Boyardee while Mom is on the cell phone and trying the latest Rosie O’Donnell Makeup & Fragrances is a good test of patience and self-control.

3) No quickies! Your stay at WallyWorld must last no less than 45 minutes. You can hang out in automotive and even double check the Rapala lures to see what’s new to kill an allotted rest time of 10 minutes. The rest of the time you must be on the move. An exception is made if you are with your significant other and she goes for the White Sale madness. You must park, wait and be ready to back your mate if things get hairy with the pillow throws or allergenic bedspreads.

4) You are gonna buy stuff so pick items from the top and bottom shelves to test your cover garment. Your mate can assist you and point out any deficiencies. If you are alone and store security or the cops have not arrived by the time you check out, you passed this test.

5) Check out: make sure you choose the busiest register. People will stand in close proximity and you must bear it with patience and avoiding contact. Beware of the people suddenly remembering a forgotten item and sending their mates to fetch it. They usually will brush against you on the way to get it.

6) Meal Time! If your WallyWorld serves Nachos, go ahead and get yourself a big serving of the suckers and wash it down with a Sam’s cola. If McD’s is the choice at the premises, get fries, onion rings, apple pie and a large Coke. ALL MEALS MUST BE CONSUMED ON SITE! No To-Go’s or you will be disqualified.

7) When you leave, repeat the scanning of the parking lot. Remember that now you are also dealing with a shopping cart that rattles like and old train and wants to go right all the time. Do not lose track of your surroundings because of this. If you have a car, open the trunk and introduce all your bags while facing outwards. Pick up Trucks: lower the tailgate and do the same. Keep scanning, you never know where the BG’s might be.

8) REMEMBER: Yellow lights = WallyWorld Security. Red Lights = Cops.

9) - Make test fall on floor in busiest area - near register or anywhere crowded. See if concealment can still be maintained. If you lose that then go back to GO and do NOT collect $200

10) Restroom break (even if you don't have to go), go through the motions, figure out what your going to do with your gun, while sitting on the commode

Pictures are mandatory.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

No, but IIRC, there was a Costco incident in Las Vegas, NV where the CHL was hauled away in an ambulance with a toe tag on him.

Seems like I remember a post on here about a forum member seeing a guy in shorts wearing his ankle rig at a walmart. As I recall the police got to him rather quickly.

We have several different options depending on the wally world we go to. McD's is common and a few have subways now. I prefer the Target in lake worth - they have a starbucks lol

Well, I will not make the Wally World walk this week. But there is a high probablity that I will next week! The first thing I'll do is get a large amount of ammo and walk the isles...maybe for 30 minutes or so :mrgreen:
