I Set Off 2 Alarms Today

[Classic]

I recently moved just out side of Anderson and went shopping today, carrying my XDS. Tractor Supply alarm went of as the wife, daughter and I entered the store and again on our way out. Wife said maybe it was because of all of the electronics she had in her backpack/purse. On to Meijer and again, alarm sounding as we entered the store. Told the wife and daughter to go ahead of me when we were through shopping. As I walked out by myself the alarm sounded again, clearly it was me setting them off.

This is new to me. How many businesses are doing this, I really don't appreciate it as I usually CC and don't necessarily want to advertise it. Anybody here work retail? Have they been turning up the sensitivity on these things lately or something? Anybody else experiencing this?

You've got a tag somewhere that wasn't deactivated. There's no gun detector at the store entrance.

ya check your clothes for a tag, or possibly the bottom of your shoes if you stepped on a small one. could even be your cellphone.

Did you remove the security tag when you bought your gun?

if it is an errant clothing tag test it by setting off the alarm, return your weapon to your car then try again with the only missing item being your gun.

Likely on the bottom of your shoes. The ones stuck to electronics fall off in the parking lots. Check your shoes.

I agree with all those ^^^^^^^^^ guys. This would be my first suspicion as well.

Those alien implants sometimes trigger those alarms.
Next time you're abducted just let them know and they'll deactivate it for you.

Makes sense, I'll check it out.

Or it might have been all the stuff you were shoplifting...

If upy wrap your items with tinfoil it will block the RFID devices in your lifted items,

When the alarm goes off, suggest that you immediately pull out your carry gun and show it to the greeter, saying "don't worry, it's just this".

When that happens your supposed to jump up and down and squeel like a 12 yr old girl screaming " WHAT DID I WIN.... WHAT DID I WIN....

They could just have them set more sensitive and you have enough metal on you to set it off.

Just take off running next time.

I started carrying a new fire arm. I noticed that every time I went into the book store the alarm would sound. In and out. After a couple of times I was getting self conscious. As I like to keep a low profile. Well, I was looking thru my also recently acquired wallet and found one of those circuit board looking things. I threw it away, problem solved. I just wondered why it didn't trip other places.
So did you get a new wallet recently?

Did a State Trooper take your old wallet?

Did a State Trooper take your old wallet and replace it with a new, tagged wallet?

I almost made a second post to explain!! Too funny. My old wallet of 5 years of service, 5 years of the kids smelling cash and showing up needing something usually immediately and usually for school, was replaced by my wife because she felt sorry for the sad state it was in. So she must have tagged me! Or rather not gotten the store to un tag my new wallet.

Is your wife a State Trooper?
