Re: I like this
If you suspected or caught me doing something to harm your store - yes.
Your analogy is so flawed, it's laughable.
If you saw me buying a screw driver, rope and tape, and thought I was going to go rob someone - absolutely not.
YOU ARE NOT THE POLICE.

And I did order a suspicious fellow out of my store. (Twice, actually; once under the circumstances I outlined, and once for making threats to a women who came onto the premises in a distraught state. Had to call 9-1-1 in the last case).

If I had solid reason to believe that selling you certain merchandise would facilitate a crime, I certainly could refuse to make the sale. I have refused to sell certain merchandise to certain individuals; and not been reprimanded for it.
YOU ARE NOT THE POLICE.
So what. Do an Internet search on "citizen's arrest".
