Home Depot walk

[macattac]

Recently joined the forum and more recently got my plastic. I carried on a long road trip right after getting the plastic but had to wait until today for the Home depot walk. My Crossbreed ST came in the mail today, so tucked it in, holstered the SR9C and headed to dinner and the Depot. I think I will like the holster, and after a few aisles in the store I pretty mcuh quit worrying until I had to load a few bags of landscape rock. Worried a bit there but all was well. Will have to see if the pics are woth loading, but hopefully I can loaded one for the required proof.Thanks to all the folks on this forum, lots of good info and keeps me realizing how much I can keep learning from ya'll . Thanks agian.

Home Depot Hoe Down?

OK, you guys just reminded me of this very funny first-grader drawing ... http://kool.radio.com/2011/03/10/what-d ... -a-living/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

(Note: I don't think the above link violates forum rules, it's innocent enough, but there is a subtle mention of a certain type of female dancing)

OK,

This question has been on my mind, and I have not found the answer (which I am sure exists somewhere in some thread here). Hate to ask it cause I think it is just what it sounds like...but I would hate to violate the tradition and have some old lady in Peru fall over dead cause I didn't do it...

...it being the Wally Walk. Is it simply going to Walmart and walking around? My plastic should be here in a couple of weeks, and I want to kick things off right!!

Yes but there are rules

Unofficial Wally Walk Rules

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
