I don't look for concealed carriers.

I look for people who are acting skootchy. Hovering, following, encroaching on personal space. No eye contact, too much eye contact, etc. My favorite is the one who's "doing nothing" - people don't DO that in stores. You shop or you leave - WalMart is not a theme park, and the only lines they have are checkout not rollercoasters. The guy sitting there looking at the same 4' section of shelving for 10 minutes straight? I'd give him added space & additional attention.

I worked retail for years - and the number of people in any given store on any given day attempting to or actually behaving in a criminal way is staggering. If they're willing to steal, they don't care about you at all. Once I even caught an employee who was stealing red-handed. And to think this young man had been empowered to handle & sell firearms in the gun section.

Having my CCW merely gives me more capability than without one. It is up to me to be vigilant and proactive with or without it.
