I sure hope this principal has no alcohol, pets, or other things in her home that are not allowed at school.

A better question is why would the police show up when they got this report? Do they always show up when they get reports of things that are not even crimes? Do they not even check the law before sending a unit to someone's home? Maybe we should call them and tell them that the principal is watching TV on her couch, so they should go arrest her.

The police in Maryland vary with the political landscape they serve. In Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore, I doubt that officers would have bothered with a call like this. But this is Baltimore. As least some of the cops in that area are all in with the concept that "civilians" should not have guns and probably won't miss an opportunity to grind people into the ground if they could. Politics runs deep in the Baltimore area and I'd guess that if they want to keep their jobs, they are going to go along. I used to drive through MD a fair amount. I ran a project in Gaithersburg. I was fearful of run ins with officers and was on my best behavior. I doubt that things have gotten any better since I was there.

The problem is that this is the People's Republic of Maryland. In all matters related to guns, the public has no rights. I would expect the police, based on the school principal's input, to claim it was an exigent circumstance.
