Why not post a sign telling everyone that hurting people isn't nice and not allowed at Walmart. Maybe cities with high crime rates can post the same at their city limits.
I do. Sometimes they replace the nose pads on my glasses for free.Another update from the Daily Press. Sounds like it would have been pretty tough to intervene, even if you had been aware of the situation. Who goes into the Vision center, besides the people who are looking to get glasses?

Things like this never happen at places like Wal-Mart... until they do.My youngest said that she always wanted me to carry when we went there, which I told her I would but also tried to calm her worry down that things like this don't happen often but this is exactly why we go prepared.
"Many customers were scared and children were crying during the ordeal, Dotson added."
The poor sheeple.
Remind me.. who needs a gun at walmart? :banghead:
You've had some clashes with other folks on this forum, and until this statement I've been willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. What's wrong with customers being scared of a man brandishing a knife and hurting a woman so badly it puts her in critical condition at the local hospital? What's wrong with children being scared and crying when adults are scared, police are running in with drawn weapons and shouting, and I suspect, the victim of this attack likely screaming in pain loud enough for anyone in the store to hear?
"Sometimes, fear is the appropriate response." There was no herd-like stampeding, there was some "panic, chaos, and confusion" as to be expected. Sorry everyone is not a Unit-trained operator like yourself.
These aren't "sheeple" you jackass, they're your friends and neighbors. If you need to make yourself feel better by putting them down, please go elsewhere.
I don't think it changes anything, but it does "turn up the volume".Now with this incident freshly in the minds of the employees and local shoppers, what is your opinion on carrying there now? Would OC-ing at Walmart today help or hurt the OC cause?
I have the option to CC. If I OC and the management goes nuts that would hurt us in the long run. I figure a week or two would be my opinion but am curious of others that have the pay4perks permit.

So did you use your new P4P or OC? No one went running out of there screaming did they?Beat you to it. Last night around 11:30 to look for .45 and a some other things.

My P4P has been unused and will remain so for the near future. The vision center looked like it always does... as if nothing ever happened.
I got many more looks at Yorktown last night, but I was attracting attention by hoping over walls and rocks and such.
The thing that erks me a bit is that while OC-ing at this very Walmart I have TWICE overheard people (usually older women) say loud enough for me to hear, "Why do you need a gun at Walmart!".
Who was looking, tourists or locals?
Having banned guns and swords in Great Brittain said:I remember reading an article in on of the British tabloids about an old grandmother who had been arrested for carrying an offensive weapon. The weapon? A 12" knitting needle. Kid you not. What absolute freakin' lunacy.... She was carrying it for her own protection though. Imagine having to resort to knitting needles to fend off young thugs.....
