Either learn to dress for CHL...or don't carry. You could do a Kangaroo-style rig, but other than that, I usually go for whatever will cover the gun - that's my main concern.
The "wally walk" is not anything official.
It came about over the last few years simply because most towns have a Walmart and it's an easy to store to make an excuse to go to. It's easily accessible. You don't have to buy anything. You can buy something small. They are open a huge range of hours. No one cares (see peopleofwalmart.com).
My first conceal carry was the Walmart in Oak Harbor in Aug 2004, long before this Wally Walk became 'a thing'. I went around 1030am on a weekday simply because I could go there and get a few things to 'try out' my carry in the real world. I wore jeans, a tshirt and a fleece pullover.
It's a huge mental adjustment when a person starts carrying. It's one thing to walk around your house, its another to walk around in public. Society is so ingrained to believe guns are bad and gun in public are especially bad and signal trouble. Even us gun-lovers have a mental adjustment to make simply being conscious of a gun on our hip with the possibility that another person around could freak out and now you've got an MWAG. The nervousness and mindset becomes settled after you've been carrying a while.
No one says you have to go to Walmart. It just became so common place it has developed into a tradition you could say. That tradition has of course evolved and now encompasses some humor.
Ankle holster? Mouse gun in the pocket?
Pocket carry. I can easily carry a G26 in a jeans pocket. Or try a tuckable holster.how do you guys carry, that like me, wear properly fitting wranglers with a properly sized tucked in shirt? the only way for me would be crotch carry. especially since i refuse to wear an unbottoned shirt over the top like im a tourist in hawaii.

nope, i would rather carry rocks in a dump pouch, than change the way i dress or the types of guns just to carry concealed.
