Arrested and possibly prosecuted for what?

Arrested because the LEO or manager of the establishment is convinced that you can't carry in a grocery store that sells beer, or just because (insert whatever ignorance of CHL law here) and prosecuted by a DA that believes that guns cause crime. Do you think antis in authority really care about...Whats that funny word? Oh yea, the LAW. Oh and if there's a silly gun buster sign on the door, it's GAME ON for the prosecution and arresting officer.
