super excited because i am getting in my plastic today... and im going on the wally walk... so i know im supposed to buy ammo and possibly nachos haha...anything else?

In order to validate and certify this as a true Wally Walk, pictures are a must.

You must have to bend over, squat down and reach up high.

but there is no need for pictures of this

Congratulations on getting your CHL!!! The most important thing is to enjoy the walk. I sure enjoyed mine after the long wait for the license.

Congrats, swc007!! Just enjoy the comforting feeling knowing "it's" there if you need it. Also, enjoy the feeling of others NOT knowing "it's" there if you need it.

Congrats on the plastic and the Wally Walk! I'm still in such the beginning stages of this whole adventure! Online app and FAST fingerprints are completed. . . class will hopefully be in the next couple weeks (I'm waiting for a buddy to get his schedule cleared out so we can take it at the same time). . .I am so far ahead of myself on this that I have actually chosen the Wally World I will complete my Wally walk in! We have 4 Wally Worlds here so I had a few to chose from. Funny thing is, everytime I have to go to Wally World I notice all the Hawaiian shirts and I'm looking for people who are taking pictures of themselves!
Has anyone else done their recon before even technically being in the "waiting room"??

don't forget to wear your hawaiian shirt.

can someone post the specific requirements to complete a wally walk? Im hoping my plastic will come in within the next few weeks and want to be prepared for my wally walk.

So you got your CHL.

We assumed that you have already chose a proper holster, mag pouch (or suitable combination of substitutes) and cover garment and played dress-up in front of a mirror a couple of hundred times. But now, it is time to go live in the real world. It is time for you to go to WalMart!

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[/quote]

Be sure to post back with pictures or its a no go

Omg, what is this new Banana Madness?!

I Love it! Add it to the official requirements list.

I'm not sure if it qualifies, but I carried for the first time yesterday. I was wearing shorts and a new LL Bean polo shirt (larger than my normal size). Was out all day, including a trip to HEB, dinner at Chili's, etc. Comfort level was only OK (still breaking in the holster). Mental comfort level was OK, too. Had an interesting occurrence in the HEB parking lot when my wife and I were approached by a couple of what appeared to be panhandlers. My wife was a little nervous about what she thought I might do. Although I was mentally prepared to defend, my assessment was that they were not a threat, and I simply asked them to move on, which they did.

Spent a lot of time outside, and encountered a lot of neighbors, etc. No one noticed my additional cargo. Today I am going for a run and will take my .380. Hopefully it won't pull down my running shorts...
