Towguy:
I just received my permit to carry a couple of weeks ago and am still getting used to a comfortable method of carry and public areas I may have trouble with. I am assuming the paranoia of carrying in public will deminish in a short time.
Has anyone had an issue with their gun setting of a theft deterent (metal detector) at door of a store? If so how is it typically handled? I do not want to be in a situation where I have to reveal my gun, and I am certainly not going to hand my gun over to anyone while I go through the detector to make sure it is the gun and not some stolen item in my pocket.
I am thinking that if it was an issue that it would have been talked about on this forum before but I wasn't able to find an earlier post.
Have never had that happen, even at Wally World (Wal*Mart) Those sensors are usually triggered by an RFID tag (Radio Frequency Identification) tag embedded in the merchandise. This is why you will notice them rubbing certain items over a large flat area at the register. It turns off the RFID transmission and makes it so it won't trigger the alarm. Then, if someone forgets to do that, and it does trigger the alarm, you will notice they can run a wand over your merchandise to see which item is triggering it. They look at your receipt, and if that item is on the receipt, they know you paid for it, and that the clerk either forgot to neutralize it, or the process failed for some reason.
RFID is also that neat little thing they can embed in your pet's neck, by the way, so that your pet can be identified easily.
