I saw a fat woman go into hysterics in a Walmart checkout line. She screamed over and over, “He got a gun!” Turns out she had seen it when his shirt pressed against it on the small of his back. A cop rushed over with his gun drawn. The man hardly moved from when this started. He handled it very well, but it ended up with the manager telling the guy to never come back. I stayed close enough to see but not hear. It looked like the guy had a licensee and the cop returned his gun disassembled. The cop acted pissed off at the CCW man, but said nothing to the smug woman who acted like she was some kind of hero. She could have precipitated a shooting incident as the cop seemed really “jazzed” by the whole thing.
I had a close woman friend who basically cut off our relationship when she found out I carried. Due to these incidents I carry concealed and never let anybody know I have a gun.
You never know when you are going to run into the screaming Walmart-lady.

That’s very interesting, but it goes against Walmart policy, as they have NO corporate policy against open carry.
If the individual took the matter up the chain of command, not only would the manager been edumacated, but the open carrier probably would get a gift card for his trouble.
People do it in ou Walmart with no problem.
As for the screaming lady at Walmart?
She would be shocked to learn that about 5% of Americans have concealed carry permits.
And Florida tops the list where just about 10% of the population have concealed permits.
So, when she goes to a Florida Walmart about 1 in 10 customers can carry concealed & she won’t even know it.
Then, if course, there are those pesky Constitutional carry states.
