I'm thinking the biggest advocates say of normalizing OC will come from women choosing to OC. My wife is about as non threatening as it gets. Other women seeing her OCing her sig P238 would first be stunned that someone who looks and dresses like her at Wal Mart would ever carry. Visually, She's a far cry from MWAG dressed in camo walking the streets with his AR.

Question: if someone calls in a 911 MWAG on you and an officer shows up he has to write up a report. Is there any downside to having your name written up in that report? I would think no but wounding if someone has a different opinion.

If MDA floods 911 with exaggeration about what you are doing.....

4. File a police report. Falsely reporting a crime to police is a misdemeanor. Whether it's part of a bad revenge plot or not, making a false report or misusing the 911 system, with the added danger of an innocent victim potentially getting killed, can warrant pretty serious criminal action. Initiate legal action against whoever made the call and don't treat it as a practical joke you can just ignore.

In the committee hearings even the republicans said that they never wanted anyone to feel they couldn't call 911 if they were concerned about someone they saw with a gun. I won't hold my breath hoping that one of the MDA moms gets charged for calling in a MWAG.

I don't have a problem with them calling 911 either. It's up to the dispatcher to question the call as to what the MWAG is doing and to inform the caller the situation is legal. If the caller lies to or misleads the dispatcher then you can file a complaint on the caller....even if the police department won't. And keep in mind that if these MDA are repeatedly calling 911 and officers discover their calls are false alarms these MDA individuals can be charged.

Too Many 911 Calls Can Get You Arrested

" False reporting causes dispatchers to shift resources from real emergencies. It’s also illegal to repeatedly call 911 without an actual, concrete reason to do so. In some states, this can constitute harassment."


Hypothetical: suppose MDA forms hit squads looking for open carrying to call 91, say 6th street in Austin, what's to stop some OC activists from using their video to record the before and during a police encounter and then match that encounter against a trumpet up MDA 911 call? At least it'd be a better use of their time then goating police into encounters for their U-tube pages
