[WA] Drew firearm because I was in fear for my safety.

Original text:

Hey guys, I'm not sure what to do in this situation and need some advice.

I was at IHOP this morning having a nice breakfast. Everything was delicious and I was content. As I went to pay for my meal I was told that the credit card machine was broken and that I need to pay cash.

Not having any cash on my person, I informed that I would need to leave and go to an ATM. They were not OK with this. The cashier said I could not leave and needed to wait until the machine started working or call someone to bring me cash.

I told him that this was absolutely unacceptable and I would not be held hostage over $12.

(Now, I want to preface this with the fact that have a valid CPL and was carrying at the time.)

At this point the manager comes over and invades my personal space. He steps in front of me and tells me I'm not leaving until I pay for my meal. I told him that he could not force me to stay.

As I stepped towards the door her grabbed my arm, at which point I drew my Glock 23 and asked to remove his hands from me.

He immediately let go and said he was calling the cops.

I got in my car and left. I'm currently sitting at home and I'm not sure what I should do. I doubt they could identify me or find me.

Any advice is appreciated.

Edit - I called the station and they said they had not received any reports of brandishing. Looks like I'm in the clear.

Edit 2 - A detective from the department left me a voicemail saying he wanted to ask me some questions. I blocked my number so I'm sure how they got it. I made an appointment to meet with a Second Amendment attorney on Monday.

EDIT 3 - The police just left. I'm not sure how they found me or my address.

They took my ALL my firearms and made me let them search my house and safe. They issued my a citation for brandishing and assault. I have a court date.

This is bullshit so hopefully the lawyer I talk to on Monday can help me sue the department AND IHOP.

They also found some pills I have for my mom and a glass pipe that they said had methamphetamine residue in it. I have never seen that pipe before and am sure they planted it. I received a ticket for this as well.

Hopefully I can get everything dismissed considering I was assaulted and they have it on camera.
