Walley Walk (of sorts)

#1

Post by Relentless1 »

After sending in all my application work in mid-June I received my coveted plastic last Monday. Unfortunately I was on a string of working days so I didn't have an opportunity to "get out there" until Friday. Now as a matter of personal preference (again personal - I'm not trying to get a rise out of anyone), I try not to go to Walley's World. I would rather make a couple of stops around town than one stop there. My "Walley Walk" was a grocery run to H-E-B. Although I was hyper aware of my new EDC addition on my hip walking in, once I started picking off my grocery list, engaging in friendly hellos, catching up with random aquantences, and even hitting on the cute redhead who works at the boutique, I all but forgot about my CCW.
I understand getting that first trip out of the way is a big deal, and I'm happy it couldn't have gone any better (yes, I got her number- we have a date later this week).

Welcome to the forum Brandon! Glad to have you with us! :tiphat:

Your experience went about the same for me. Trip to the neighborhood convenience store, then to hardware store, then grocery store. No problems what so ever, and as I got no glares or even casual glances. People just don't notice. :thumbs2:
