No Wally Walk...but "Target Trot"

Post by Superman »

Just got my plastic today in the mail :anamatedbanana

Strapped on my Springfield XD 9mm sub-compact, went out to Chilis for dinner with the wife and kid, and then to Target for a little grocery shopping. Great first experience...didn't realize how paranoid I'd be about looking for signage though :rules:

After a while you get to the point you instinctively know where to look. I's all good.

Congrats on the plastic. I've been a chl holder for just over a year and after open carryingor concealed carrying on the job for the last 4 (armed security/personal protection) I have found myself just glancing around not necessarily looking for signs but being more aware of my surroundings. Avenues of retreat/ cover/ concealment should the a problem arises no matter where I am at any given time.(not necessarily in that order) The most frequent signs that I personally are the "unlicensed possession" ones.

Congrats :anamatedbanana

On another note I can't read the phrase "Target Trot" and not get the wrong idea... :lol:

On a serious note...make sure you have a plan on how to deal with your carry pistol if you do suddenly have an attack of the "Target Trots"... :biggrinjester:

What is it about going into one of these stores and suddenly feeling your bowels engage into overdrive?
