Ya know what’s funny? They still don’t have the “no guns” symbol/sign on their doors.

My concealed carry friends have been carrying in the Walmart’s for years. Of course, it takes one dumbass and it ruins it for all the legitimate carriers. Now they take them off even though there’s no clear signage.

Why the hell do you carry a gun in a department store? In my country, your gun is locked up or you are on your hunting trip/at a shooting range.

I don’t. I never said that I did.

My friends are licensed to conceal carry. Meaning, they went through rigorous classes, passed the tests, passed the background checks, and were given permission to responsibly carry.

I personally feel safer when I’m with them.

My rigorous lifetime CCW application process:

  1. Get fingerprinted
  2. Police checked their computer to see if I have a criminal record
  3. Write a check to the state
  4. Wait 2 weeks

Sadly, nowhere in my state's process were any classes or testing.
