At some establishments those alarms do seem to have a lot of false negatives. Generally a short glance back at the staff will let you know if you need to stop or not. Generally they just wave you on.
I live Anchorage, AK. Alaska is not just a “Shall Issue” state, there is no permit requirement to carry a weapon concealed. None, period.
The only rational attitude I can have is that everyone I meet, talk to or interact with has in their possession the means to either kill me or injure me gravely. Period.
Robert Heinlein once famously said - "An armed society is a polite society." There have been several shootings here where an argument turned deadly because one or more of the folks involved were armed. The shooters went to jail of course, but that is little comfort to a widow.
I also carry and that is a termendous responsibility - both to my family and to other citizens here. Hence, the effort to ignore, walk away, deescalate as the rational response to childish or stupid behavior on the part of others.
At this stage, I guess we can agree to disagree. Good night.
