Just a thought..
I've been reading through all the states' forums paying particular attention to LEO Encounter threads and any thread having to do with the laws of my own state.. (Ky that is..) and I always read about police responding to that infamous MWAG call..
Is there a way to get the word out to those that operate the 911 phone systems that they need to prompt the panicky callers for more info.. (assuming the call isn't "MWAG and he's shooting up the place!" with shots in the background..)
They need to ask, "MWAG? what's he/she doing? gun holstered? Are they just walking along? shopping/minding their own business? alone? Family or maybe friends with him? If alone: Are they acting suspicious or threatening aside from your perceived threat of the gun?
If it sounds to the operator that it's just a law abiding OCer.. they need to inform the panicky caller "Well Sir or Ma'am.. OC is legal in this state.. call us if they unholster or otherwise threaten someone.." (Or something to that effect. )
That would save LEOs ( and us.. ) alot of headache wouldn't it? Problem is getting them to actually do it..
Thoughts?
