While I was in college I worked part time in the hunting/fishing section of a sports store. When ringing up a handgun gun sale I must have accidentally pushed the silent alarm. After the sale I was kneeling behind the cash register counter with the gun in my hand as I tried to find the form for the gun that goes to the state police. The next thing I heard was “drop it!” from the cop who responded to the silent alarm and had his weapon pointed at my head.
