While respecting your right to wander around in public with a
hogleg pistol stuffed in your breeches if the state of
Michigan thinks you are entitled to do so, I have to ask why
you think a department store is a public place? It isn't.

Why do you think it's necessary to wander around armed over
there between the cabbages and the potatoes? I can make a
pretty good argument that what you did violated store policy,
and you also musta pegged their insurance liability threat
meter.
