Second Amendment groups are accusing the gun control lobby of putting law-abiding owners of firearms in danger by urging people to call the police on anyone carrying a gun in public.
As more states relax rules about open-carrying of guns, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has taken to social media to urge the public to assume gun-toters are trouble, and to call the cops on anyone they feel may be a threat.
“If you see someone carrying a firearm in public—openly or concealed—and have ANY doubts about their intent, call 911 immediately and ask police to come to the scene,” the group wrote on its widely followed Facebook page. “Never put your safety, or the safety of your loved ones, at the mercy of weak gun laws that arm individuals in public with little or no criminal and/or mental health screening.”

Can't wait for someone to call the police on an plainclothes detective carrying his perfectly legal service weapon. Someone will look stupid.
ReplyDelete911 dispatchers need to get good ID on the callers and go after them for frivolous reports.

Actually, the gun grabbers may be putting the cops in very dangerous situations with this foolishness.
If you don't show, nobody know.
