Glad you figured it out.

I have a theory of why when you went through without your gun it didn't trigger. It is possible that the metal of the gun and the position on your body caused it to act like an antenna and help the signal get to the RFID tags better, which in turn caused it to trigger the alarm. Without the extra metal, the tags may have not gotten as good a signal and not triggered the alarm.
