I got my plastic in yesterday but haven't had a chance to break it in until today. I took my wife, six year old son, and his little friend to the "celebrate Roanoke" festival this afternoon. As soon as we got there we were immediately surrounded by police and hundreds of people so I guess it was a good place to get used to carrying in public. We stopped and watched the Texas legends group perform a skit and mock gun fight which I found a bit ironic. We hung out for a couple of hours and saw everything there was to see. My son and I talked to the local firefighters and they showed him all kinds of stuff on their truck. After we all got home, I went by myself to Walmart to grab a couple if things for my wife. I decided to turn this into my Wally walk so I made sure to spend at least 45 minutes in the store. Took a few deep breaths and realized that almost everyone there would have no idea nor would they even care if I was armed. I decided to just wear a t shirt so that I'd be the most exposed that I'd ever be for the attire that I normally wear. Even though I felt like I was printing like crazy ( like everyone does in their first outing) nobody noticed a thing. I picked up some dog food, some milk, and a couple of movies, and managed to not shoot a single person or myself. :-)
All in all I'd say it was a good first experience.
