Hey all-
I have been OC'ing regualary for a month or so now, and have been carrying at lots of different places, without incident. My fiancee and I visited Wal-Mart today in Hatfield PA (near Montgomeryville) to purchase a cell phone. I have OC'ed several times at this Wal-Mart before and nobody seemed to care. Today we went to the Wal-Mart and were looking to upgrade our cell phones. I began talking to a employee, who wasn't too familar with the phones and the plans, but told me he would get someone who was. During our brief conversation, I noticed his eyes shift down several times on my firearm. He went and got another employee, that was able to help me. As my fiancee was talking to the sales clerk, the original sales clerk came back after a few minutes. He then asked" What kind of gun is that?" I responed "Colt Defender .45" He nodded and said nice. He then asked if I liked Springfield guns, as he was a fan of them. We then chatted for a bit, and during our conversation I handed him a flyer, as he was not familar with the PA Laws on open carry. (This was the first flyer I handed out, and I regulary carry one) Our conversation continued, and then another customer overheard our conversation, and wanted to know if I had any more brochures. (Unfortunately I didn't) The other customer had moved from Alaska, and wanted to know more about PA gun laws. After a few minutes of talking I had to go and finish up business with the cell phone paperwork. During this time, many Wal-Mart employees walked past, including the Asst Manager, and nobody hassled me. A good experience in the local Wal-Mart, next time I will carry more flyers though!!
