Various things can see those devices off. I had an electronic card key for the building my office was in, an that used to set the alarm off.
Spats said:3) Assuming that the manager does somehow figure out that I'm carrying, I wouldn't be altogether too surprised if he or she asks me to surrender the gun. Now THIS causes me some heartburn. As mentioned above, if a LE asks me to hand it over, that's one thing. Having a store manager or store security (private, not off-duty LE) tell me to hand over my gun . . . not comfortable with that at all, having no earthly idea about that person's training, safety level, etc. With LEOs, I at least know they've had some training with firearms, and handle them regularly.
You need not worry. The security people at the store go through this on a daily basis. This may be your first time but for them they go through this all the time.
So if you are stopped by security at a store they will have good reason and they will know how to handle the situation.
(2) The detention by a law enforcement officer, merchant, or merchant's employee does not render the law enforcement officer, merchant, or merchant's employee criminally or civilly liable for false arrest, false imprisonment, or unlawful detention.
Apparently, those things go off with some regularity, even when you're not stealing stuff.
I don't think there really is such a thing, especially if you are one of the parties involved.I would love a good lawsuit.

The premises of this thread are a citizen carrying a legal weapon legally concealed, falsely accused of shoplifting following a legitimate purchase, stopped (by force or without force) by security and asked for his/her weapon, or searched, again, with or without force.The security people at the store go through this on a daily basis.
