I carry Concealed at the local Walmart and everywhere else I go.
Open Carry takes away the element of surprise. I’ve never understood the appeal, though I have a Smoke em’ if you got em’ attitude about it.
An armed society is a polite society.
A few days after El Paso I was shopping at my local walmart. An alarm went off and an “evacuate the building” announcement was made. After that caused some commotion they broadcast “this is a test.” Now, why didn’t they do that first? Seemed odd.
I do the same thing, and we have open carry in TN. Why advertise? What I won’t do is buy my guns or ammo from Walmart.
The closest store is 15 mins away, and they have basically gone Self Check out. I’m not shopping where I have to bag my own groceries. I’m not supposed to lift more than 5 lbs my back is to degenerative. Kroger’s just put in more self check outs. Fine for 1 or 2 small items not fine for a weeks groceries. No shelf stocker is worth $15 an hr.
There is no “element of surprise” in a defensive situation, except your surprise when they steal your piece along with your wallet.
yep ,just pull your shirt over it
Far worse is Walmart’s decision not to sell pistol ammo they deem dangerous, and some rifle ammo too.
