    When you first got your CHL, what was the first time/place you carried. Did it feel a little strange being armed in public for the first time?

    Its a Texas tradition every one has to do the Wally Walk (Walmart).
    Yoy spend 35 minutes walking around just looking and on your way out
    you have to get a cheeseburger and fries and a drink from McDonalds.

    I did now know about that....but it makes perfect sense. Nothing like a stroll through wal mart to take away any feeling about me being strange.

    For my 6th birthday at age 6 I open carried a 6 shot revolver in a leather holster all over town. Of course I was also wearing a cowboy hat and vest(it was a 4 piece set/plasctic). To be honest I was a little nervous.

    3 1/2 years ago (renewing next week) at the neighborhood store for some ice cream. It was a little awkward until I realized I awas probably under armed compared to the gang members hanging around outside.

    Yes, I'm pretty sure my first time was in Wal-Mart. As long as Wal-Mart is boycotting Glenn Beck, I'll probably endorse some other type of walk... perhaps Target.


    Looks like you could be looking for a lot of new places to shop. The advertising $$$$ of several large retailers have been pulled. Now there's a boycott of the boycott brewing. Sometimes I think we take things to far.


    And, still waiting on my plastic, so no first time for me yet.

    Yeah, I know. But without principles, what do we have?

    The first time I carried in public I was nervous as hell! After I got to the post and realized that I was the only one nervous I was okay. Now I just have to go get my CHL and I will never be unarmed. LOL!

    I can't remember where it was. It did feel different though. However, I had just got back from a year tour in Iraq and I was always checking to see if my M4 was hanging on my side. I was all mixed up!! LOL
