Yep, the Wal-Mart in Chesterfield on Ironbridge Road/Rte 10. Didn't think I was going there, but couldn't find what I needed at Target on Jeff Davis. Did not have a cover with me and the shirt I was wearing had a short tail that would not cover my G20 in a Tucker HF-1.
Soooo, I called my wife telling her where I was headed. She asked, "Do you have a cover shirt?" with an edge to her voice. No, I said, time to test the waters.
Wearing jeans, a black Henley shirt, the G20, Surefire light, spare mag, and cell phone I waded into the pool...
Have to admit, I headed to the men's area first to see if they had a Hawaiin shirt I could wear...okay, I was a little nervous. They had nothing I liked. I walked by several employees on the way there, smiling and saying, "Hi," to each. Made my way to the household area looking for an alarm clock. More employees, more smiles, how ya doing, etc.
Couldn't find what I wanted, so I asked a young employee. He tried to find what I wanted, but no go... He pointed to electronics saying they would have more of what I needed. All the time he was standing on my right side.
Went to electronics, voila, I found the clock. A clerk asked if she could help me, "No, I just found it," I said and walked away.
Decided to go buy some ammo for my wife, so, headed to sporting goods. Again, more employees, more, well, you know...
Got to sporting goods. Three people were getting fishing licenses, so I stood at the counter waiting. A second clerk comes into the area and asks how he could help me. Told him I needed some .357 magnum.
Now I notice the people at the counter had noticed the pistol on my side. I looked at them, smiled and nodded my head. One of the two men nodded and said, "Sir."
The clerk rang up my purchase...funny, when the register beeps prompting him to ask, "Is this for ahandgun or rifle?", he didn't ask....go figure.
Now I'm finished, I nod to the people at the counter and head for the front.
Low and behold, I made it all the way to my car and no one approached me, stopped me...nothing.
Now, will I do it again? Probably...:lol:
Just thought I'd share!!
