Michele McCowan I would have to call them every single day, where I live. They bring their guns (on their person) when they come into our general store. We sell ammo here and alcohol. I'm not sure about the law....but it makes me feel completely uncomfortable to have them all around me.
(Montana).

I think she's living in the wrong state.

I doubt the police take kindly to being used as a club to beat up law abiding citizens.

Technically it's not a false report if they don't lie. Reporting a man with a gun to 911 wouldn't be a false report if there actually is a man with a gun.

It's not illegal to report legal activity. Yes, 911 should be used for emergencies, but there are some non-emergency reasons why you could call 911. (For example, to report a suspicious person.)

To the 911 system, they will continue to field and dispatch for these calls because of liability. It's up to the officers to make the right call when they arrive.
