I did my Wally Walk the day my plastic came in which was August 21st. I did not worry at all about walking through wally world with a .40 cal at my 6. But this past weekend I think I went through perhaps the most rigorous journeys for a new CHL'er. I needed a new pair of Luchese boots so I went to Cavendar's. I walked in the store and realized that this may test my nerves a little bit. The store was loaded with a tour bus of people from the east coast. They were all buying boots. If you have shopped for boots, you know the procedure. Sit, stand, kneel, bend over, repeat. I am quite sure I was printing with just a thin t-shirt and a XD service .40 cal. But the whole time I was not worried. I spent an hour in the store trying on boots sitting, standing, kneeling and bending over. I got a beautiful pair ( I now have 4 pair) of Luchese ostrich boots.
My point is to everyone who worries about printing...don't. I was in a store full of Yankees with some printing and no one batted an eye.
And if you want to get rid of the carrying "nerves" for good; go to a boot store and try on boots for an hour after you hit Wally World.
carry on!

They would have been more likely to notice you if you were unarmed
