Yesterday I was grocery shopping at Fred Meyer with my daughter and had my LC9 on my side IWB. The security gates alarmed when I entered the store and when I exited.
I was questioned by a store employee when I left about what I purchased that could have set off the alarm--clothing or meat. (Steak? Really?!?) Anyway, I was getting kinda nervous that he was questioning me so much. Finally I gathered some confidence and told him all I bought was groceries and maybe it could have been my iPhone or keys that set it off. Could it have been my LC9 that set off the alarm? What should I do if I ever get the grand inquisition? Have you ever had to reveal that you had a concealed weapon to get them off your case? Offer to let them search your bags? I used to work at Target and 99.9% of the time, we just waved people through when the alarm beeped, knowing that it was likely false because they just walked from the check lanes to the door.
I got a bit uncomfortable there for a few minutes.
