Wally Walk by Accident

[Horseman]

I got my card about two weeks ago. As luck would have it my wife needed to go to Wally world, so 20 minutes after I had my plastic I was carrying at Wal-Mart. But it was sheer coincidence because I hadn't found the forum yet and didn't know so many people did the "Wally walk" but while I was walking through there I did notice a two guys with tell tale bulges (no printing though) and thought "wow with so many people carrying in TX I bet there is always a CHL holder or two within shouting distance just about everywhere we go in public. Bad guys are foolish to try anything. Any thoughts? Violent crime rate must be dropping like a rock. How many CHL holders are there? How many apply every month?
