What did you go with?

Good for you sir!

But seriously, an active shooter scenario as you described, would be total chaos once people figure out what's happening. You're not popping off rounds, so I think it's a fair bet that any other gun owner you encounter will probably recognize that youre NOT the bad guy. And as far as police are concerned, it's doubtful they will have arrived before you, either are able to escape the danger, or have to confront it yourself. If you hunker down, then I would suggest calling dispatch, describing yourself in detail, and letting them know you are armed.

Me? I am agreeing with Kut here. For most people who carry, I say find an exit and GTFO of there. This is why I don't carry only a pocket gun. If you have the tools, training, and bravery to run toward the gunfire, go for it. Save some sheep.

So you think no one will be pointing guns at anyone with their gun out after shots have been fired?

Be aware of the +1 rule. If there is one shooter, there is probably a 2nd. If you are up to confronting a shooter, go for it. When the police arrive, don't have a gun in your hand and do exactly as they say.

I'm thinking of going ankle carry for my BUG.

 

[jbombelli]

I'm leaving. If I have to, I'll shoot my way out, but I'm saving my own behind and that's the best way to do it.

Other people's gunfights are not my problem.

I'm sure they will, but are they shooting people?

Hello dispatch?.I'm hunkered down in Walmart..I'm an armed civilian wearing a leopard print tank top and a thong.. Don't shoot me!

I'm the one wearing a 10 gallon hat. Hoss style.

Location in the scenario changed to a target. You guys happy?

Zebra stripes or with pink boa?

As someone posted up-thread: leave. Nearest exit.

If the gunshot was "from the other side of the store" as posted, I don't know if I would draw or not. Not like I am going to shoot someone that far away in a busy store.

Do people still shop at WalMart?

Target doesn't allow guns, so your situation is impossible at a Target. Try again.

Loosely defined, but yes "people" shop there.
