Since you are a comissioned security officer, the rules are a little bit different. I would say no, you did not brandish, but the instructor that taught my comission training would probably frown upon it. There was no need to unholster the weapon. Placing your hand on the gun and unsnapping the thumb break would acheive the same level of preparedness, but would alarm no one, as police officers and armed security personnel are regularly seen with their hands on their guns. If you unholstered your weapon, your boss would more than likely get a call from that store complaing, and proceed to chew your [rear end] for awhile. Which would be almost as bad as the brandishing charge, or at least it would be for me.
