Okay, let me be sure I understand this.
You appear in a public place, openly displaying a weapon. You meet a woman who doesn't know you, your intentions, your temperament, or your ability to use the weapon safely or judiciously.
She expresses her unease and attempts to dissuade you from your shopping plan.
You stand your constitutionally sanctioned ground, explaining that it is perfectly legal for you to ignore her discomfort and go about your business.
Not entirely satisfied with your explanation, she keeps an eye on you until she deems that you are no longer an immediate potential threat.
Are you annoyed with her because she didn't see you as an heroic armed patriot keeping the isles of Walmart safe or because she seemed to be performing the same function without the ostentatious hardware?
The best advice I received when I began carrying a handgun was "don't scare the horses" and "don't make yourself a target." OC seems to violate both those precepts. I'm not saying OC is bad, it just seems misguided.
