May want to start with not referring to your target audience as 'you people'.

Just a thought.

I get almost everything at Wally World. Meats I get from a butcher shop not too far from me and fresh vegetables I get from our farmers market. Canned and boxed items are the same at every store, only cheaper at Wally World.

B.T.W. My mom works at Wally World and has for 20+years. She told me that they were not allowed to post a sign prohibiting firearms in their stores. If one has it posted they are either going against policy or local/state law prohibits it.

Disagree all you want, but that's what it boils down to.

If I must go to a store I prefer The Tractor Store, Lowes, Home Depot. Much more intersting "guy" stuff there than at Wally.

OTH, Wally has lots of munchies.

+1.

In the South, 'you people' is a demeaning term.
Using that term to a lot us down here isn't likely to make us take
kindly to your words or point of view. We are not really thrilled with one more Yankee telling us how we should think.

Not trying to be rude. Just stating the way a lot of us feel 'down here.'

Go to any busy high traffic store for the inaugural walk such as K-Mart, Meijers, Sears, Target, a mall, etc. Its not the store but the idea of walking around in public to get used carrying. Go where you want.

I don't spend much at Wal-Mart anyway. I like to pay a tad more and shop local for many of the things I want or need. Same thing with internet shopping. I'll tend to go with the independent companies.

Just my .02 cents, but I'm pretty sure that the "Wal-Mart" thing is a lot of tongue in cheek anyway. I have never eaten anything from the Wal-Mart deli nor do I plan to, I have also never purchased ammo from Sears, Penny's, Macy's, Dillards or even Target which they don't carry. But I have bought ammo at Bass Pro and my favorite gun shop and the all important local gun shows. So botton line ... we all shop were we need to or where we must. I do shop at all the above mentioned locations depending on what I am looking for or where my wife has managed to manuliplate my day. Where ever you shop just remember how blessed we are to be able to find it, afford it, and actually purchase it. Only in America, Is this a great country or what?

I really don't like going to WalMart, but (around here) they still have the best prices on ammo.
