Congrats on the plastic! If it works for you at 6 o'clock...great! I am a 3:30 sort of guy. My old shoulders are no where near flexible enough to get at it in the SOB quickly.

Congrats! I know what you mean about carrying on the ranch, my in-laws live west of Cotulla by Big Wells...we spent Thanksgivng under a BP chopper overhead. But it sure is a relief to be able to protect my self and my family in public. Nice gun btw, pretty.

When I did my wally walk 3-1/2 years ago, I had no problem with taking pictures. I even got a wally world employee involved.......and he had no idea what was really going on. I told him we were in a scavenger hunt game and that we had to take a picture of everything we found/bought for the game to prove that we didn't already have it; and that ammo was on the list:

But 2 years ago when my wife got her CHL and we did her wally walk in the very same store, we started taking pictures, but a manager told us to stop. So we only got a couple of pics of her, one outside the store and another one inside the store before the overzealous insect made us stop. I tried giving him the same song and dance as we did before, but some people just have no sense of humor. Their loss in life.

I can tell I like that employee pointing at the ammo box. Number one, she is doing it. Number two, she is enjoying doing it. Number three, she has pictures of her kids on her id badge.

By the way, what IS the color of that shirt...fuchia? No wonder you are feeling a little peeved. -1 brother...lol :lol:

Second edit: You and I look eerily the same. Now I am feeling a little annoyed! :evil2:

I can see your quandry. I am going on the long hair and the small size of the ear ring. Although there are a lot of long-haired dudes out there (I used to be one), they usually wear larger ear rings (I still have two holes in the left ear...none in the right. It still means one thing to me when a guy has that right ear pierced).

Hate to tell yah...... That employee was a guy with long hair. :mrgreen:

The shirt is pretty close to the color you see in the picture. I'm pretty secure in my masculinity. :lol:

Dang! I had it pegged as a masculine girl. Good thing I am married and don't have to figure out gender anymore.

Speaking of which...on my first date with my wife, I wore a pink polo. She married me anyway.
