Not for me, I'm afraid. If me or mine are in danger, I'll act appropriately to protect us. But for others I'm not risking legal charges, civil suits or a stubbed toe. Thank the anti-gun crazies at all levels of society.

Well, it's off everyone's list, since it's permanently closed . . .

When we lived there that was the state of Kentucky’s policy/law concerning the use of deadly force…only to protect yourself or member of your immediate family. I do not believe that’s Louisiana’s law.
All the Wal-Marts in my area around Springfield, MO are pretty okay, safety wise. There is one, on the north side of town that has some pretty sketchy and weird-looking variations of the human species come and go, but considering the sheer volume of customers that Wal-Mart has, there is not a whole lot of bad stuff going on there.

My wife retired from Wal-Mart this spring (believe it or not she can walk and chew gum and doesn't drool much). I would leave for a day spent at police stations, prisons, nuke plants and government labs and she would tell me to "be careful". I thought that was cute.

Re: masks. In uniform my name was visibly displayed below my badge. At some point in making any arrest (and nearly all contacts) in plainclothes I displayed my ID and my name was on every search warrant. Threats were made, attempts were made, on me and my family. None were successful. I promised myself I would not get drawn into a "back in my day" critique of current trends in LE training, equipment or attitude toward the public, so that's all I have to say on that subject.

Like I said, the Walmarts in other states are probably just fine. I know that the fast food places are staffed with great people. I would be a Waffle House guy if we had one here. In Calif the decisions are made by people who don't go to Walmart, in fact they don't ever go to a grocery store. They have other people who handle the pedestrian stuff...
I deleted a number of replies.
This started as a report about two Marines (one with a handgun) who detained a lunatic that had just stabbed 11 people.
It morphed into a harsh critique of LE and our enforcement policies concerning illegal aliens. That's unacceptable, against our rules and not why we're here.
