Mr. Security Guard, you let me examine the contents of your wallet first ...
you may call for police if you like, and I'll discuss it with him, but you have to right to look at my Tampons or anything else in my purse.."
Seriously, I read, or imagined, a Walmart greeter type wanting to look in someone's fanny pack or something, and when the LEO officer policeman arrived, the CHL presented his CHL to the officer and stated he preferred that some
Walmart greeter type not search his stuff and that's why ... the officer understood perfectly
No security guard nor Walmart greeter type has authority to search anything.... get the Police here so we can discuss this.
I've entered some state office buildings where a state trooper (or several state troopers) ask for your ID before allowing you to enter. Since it's a peace officer asking for your ID, I assume you're required to also show your CHL. He'll see it and ask if you have a firearm, and if you do, he tells you not to enter with it.
I'd imagine rather than say you can't come in, he'd send you through the CHL express line to bypass the metal detector, like at the State Capital and other State offices (except Courts)
