In the late 1990s, when I got my first CC permit(yes a small slip of paper from the county Sheriff with my color ID photo stapled to it,

), I took my big 96D .40S&W into a local CVS drug store.
The red lights flashed & a loud alarm went off. I had my .40 in a Aker Comfort Flex rig under my leather jacket.
I asked a store mgr what was wrong. He just smiled & said the alarms were broken, no problems.
I laughed & said I thought this set it off, showing the grip of my 96D pistol.
The manager smiled again & said; "oh, no your fine".

If you have a problem & have a concealed weapon on you, Id just ask for a sworn LE officer to get there, then you can take it from there. Either get a atty or speak to the officer(s) & resolve it.

When I was a kid, my mom had a security agent chase her out of a Jamesway dept store all over a spray can of deodorant.

That was a huge mess.

PS: FWIW, many major chains in 2013 have do not pursue SOPs. Walmart by policy does not allow LP officers to touch or detain subjects.
There are online clips of bold crooks who dash out of stores with high value items because no one will stop them.
