CC'd for the first time today.

[blanco64]

Picked up my permit today and CC'd for the rest of the day. Although I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed that I DIDN'T do the Wally Walk!

I was somewhat self-conscious at first but quickly got past it. SA has been way up since making the decision several months back, so not much change there.

Almost 2 months to the day since taking the class.

The outing including going to see a movie with my wife. Ironically it was the Aurora, CO incident that finally pushed me to get it done in the first place. Additionally, the movie I saw (Atlas Shrugged Part II) could be seen as controversial and a potential target for a mass shooting, except of course for the fact that here there's significant potential here for encountering "resistance".

I'm not! IMO the "WWalk" is about the goofiest thing ever. I used to think it was just a tongue-in-cheek spoof until I realized some people actually were serious about it.

But hey, congrats on your new status. The self-consciousness will wear off soon enough.

Congratulations.

Congrats. What's your EDC weapon?

[Doodle]

Yeah day 1 is weird but it becomes old hat pretty quick.

[ANGLICO]

Yep, congradulations also.

[Roguestew]

Congrats. Quit adjusting your holster on the sly. Quit checking your clothes on the sly. Those were the next Second steps for me.

[miller_man]

Congrats, it'll be the same ol same ol before you know it, it'll only took me about a day or two to get past it too.

Ya, lol, I agree with roguestew.

Congrats on your new permit.

IMO, the thing that's almost as bad as the Wally-Walk is coming on a forum to get a pat on the back from strangers for carrying a gun.

Just do it and go on with your life.

On the other hand if you can make it in and out of Walmart without shooting anything you have passed a test proving that you can be trusted to carry a gun.

Um, I was joking about the Wally Walk thing, although I do think it's a funny running gag.

EDC is a Springfield XD40 Subcompact.

I see the declaration of the first CC on this site as a show of support for the CC community, and notice to wolves that their livelihood just got a little riskier.

Congratulations on your CC permit & your first day of carrying! It feels good, doesn't it.

I have yet to do the Wally Walk. Mainly because Walmarts in Milwaukee don't sell ammo so therefore have no reason to go there, lol. Eventually I'll shop there & will definitely carry. I do all the time anyhow. It's become second nature to me since I was licensed in May.
