Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
It might. You should contact the California POST: http://www.post.ca.gov/

I'd suggest contacting a family law attorney in your state.
Share Answer: 
I'd call the PD and let them know I was the homeowner and had accidentally set off the alarm. That way the officers know to expect someone when they get there. I would wait for them outside, and I would have a driver's license (or other ID with my address) to show them I was the homeowner.

Contact an attorney. Oh, and never use the "my leg had a cramp" line again.

Share Answer: 
Call the police.
Share Answer: 
Of course. Putting others in reasonable fear for their safety could be classified as assault, brandishing or some other crime depending on the state.
A gun in a holster cannot put others in reasonable fear for their safety unless it is combined with some other act on the part of the carrier (like saying "I'm going to kill you" while reaching for it.) However, waving a gun around or pointing it at someone is not lawful open carry. It is stupid, reckless and possibly criminal.
