Walmart generally is an open carry friendly place--except for some of the customers. I was showing a customer a shotgun a few weeks ago when I noticed a guy give us the stink-eye. I chuckled to myself when he turned so I could see his back and I spotted the manbun on the back of his head. It got me to wondering--is the manbun actually a cushion for when the wearer gets knocked flat on his ass?
Anyway, I'll be following this thread as I'll have my own challenges with carrying, though nowhere near as great as yours. Thank you for sharing your journey, steelfingers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
You know, you may be right about the man-buns.
