I have also taken my gun out of my purse, emptied and cleared it when I was trying to find a holster for my 1911.

I would never do something that stupid. I checked Renton's police reports where they list crimes for that day and nothing came up so perhaps he got off with a warning or was just detained. Hopefully, he learned something.I have taken my pistol out in a store before. It was when I was looking for a holster for my LCP. After I found a few possibilities, I took them to the gun counter to see if they had a LCP to try the fit with but they didn't have any. In my situation, I first asked the person at the gun counter if it was ok to remove my pistol from my pocket to try it in the holsters. They had no problem with that as long as I cleared it immediately.
There are senarios where you might want to take out your pistol without there being a threat, but first taking to those running the business is a great first step.
