Open carry in Walmart still a thing

I'll chime in, as I know some of you have missed me. I was exploring mountains and just returned.

• Most people don't even notice things around them (more on this later). The people that obsess over "printing" and check themselves out in the mirror always make me laugh. Forget about it. It only exists in your mind.
• Most employees aren't going to say a word to someone. This was hit on by others already. The mask example was a good one. I don't wear a mask and nobody says a word to me. Why would they say anything about someones gun?
• It's a Walmart policy? Who cares? Ban me? Ok. I haven't been in a Walmart in 15 years anyhow.
• If someone does challenge you just act confused and leave. The only way they are going to ban you is if you go with them and provide your personal info to them. They'd give you a written trespass notice. Just say you didn't know and tell them to have a good day.

I went into my local Wegmans about 2 weeks ago to grab a few things after work. I have a duty holster that can transition over to a paddle attachment allowing me to remove it from my duty belt and carry it with a standard belt. I figured I'd get some grief from a few people, but to my surprise I didn't even get a nasty look from anyone. I honestly don't even think most people even noticed it. This is a full size gun with a big bulky duty holster. Nobody looked twice. Everyone went about their business. Even standing in line at the register. No looks, no comments. Nothing. Nobody cares what you're doing. They are there to get what they need and leave.

That's my input and personal experience. It's good to be back. I know by posting this I have added some joy into the lives of many members, and I am happy to do it.

I don't know why people are having a hard time getting a PA LTCF.

I'm from the five boroughs, only have a Premise-Residence permit along with a Utah non resident CCW. The PA Wyoming County Sheriffs issued me a non resident LTCF without any issues.

They asked why I wanted one, I simply stated that I have a second home in Wayne County and that the Sheriffs office was too backed up. They understood and was more than happy to assist.

I sent them scans of my NYS DL, NYPD Premise-Residence permit and Utah non-residence CCW and proof of home ownership in PA along with my application.
