I went to Walmart last weekend and bought a Blu Ray player. As I was leaving, the siren went off, lights started blinking, and the little old lady at the door started yelling “Sir, Sir”. Frankly, I just wasn’t in the mood to prove I had actually bought what I was carrying, so I just kept on walking. No one made any effort to stop, which was probably a good move on their part. Sometimes I don’t mind proving I’m not criminal, but sometimes I do.

Likewise for me... I've had those lights and sirens go off too and I never stop... it never makes any difference.
Heck! One time I found out that what was making those things go off was a package that I had in a back-pack that I was carrying, which was some #2 pencils... and I was carrying it around. Everytime I would go through one of those things it would go off. When I found the package and threw it away (kept the pencils, of course...), then those things stopped going off immediately.
The funny thing is that it would go off when I was "walking in" the store, too... which is kinda weird. And so, one time when it went off when going into the store, I decided to do something about it and found the package and took it out and threw it away and went back through again, and it didn't go off.
I would say that most of the time all these alarms are always false alarms for people.
I refused, at which point they got physical attempting to restrain me at which time I advised them I was carrying a concealed handgun, the situation went downhill from there.
Now I just ignore them, confront me in the parking lot at your risk.
