First off my carry style is anything goes. I'll o.c. or c.c. depending on the day or what I'm doing or the weather. When I cc I don't go out of my way to hide it. I carry in a owb concealment holster and just go though my day.
I don't know how many of you are in the same boat now waiting for your renewal permit to show up. But, I submitted everything in mid April and I'm still waiting. So to comply with the law I just open carry.
I have been to the Rehoboth Walmart many times and have oc'd or obviously cc'd with no problems over the past few years. Last week I oc'd with my 5 year old girl with me. After getting inside the greeter jogged upto me. He asked my if I was LE. I said no. He said Walmart doesn't allow firearms carried by non LE's. I said very politely that the Walmart policy is to follow state and local law and I was not violating them. I asked him to call his manager to verify the policy. I waited while he called. He hung up and said that I was free to shop.
He then informed me that as a retired LE he knew the law but Walmart was always changing their policies. But, that oc worries people. Seems like he was the only one worried in the store.
