and remind them that you carry. I'd be careful with that.
Brandished defined
Federal law defines brandished as, with reference to a dangerous weapon (including a firearm) means that all or part of the weapon was displayed, or the presence of the weapon was otherwise made known to another person, in order to intimidate that person, regardless of whether the weapon was directly visible to that person. Accordingly, although the dangerous weapon does not have to be directly visible, the weapon must be present. (18 USCS Appx § 1B1.1)

Well, I guess you’re both welcome to be wrong then. At the moment I purchase the item, I become the legal owner and am under no compunction to rove that I own it. It’s up to them to prove my guilt.

Yep. I get offended when I have to prove stuff. It hurts my feelings and we all know how important hurt feelings are

Wal-Mart (and other places) asks random people for the receipt, this is why people are stationed at the door.

No, wait, wait. I just reread what you and I both wrote. Chemobrain strikes again!!!
It's you I agree with, why did I write that I agreed with her????? sighing. who knows. I just had a "moment" It happens wayyyyyyyy too often. Lately, I usually say about the right thing, but sometimes I have to go back and correct the wording, it's not always clear and concise, but this time I just wrote it all wrong.
