Not really. What happens when that officer happens to come across someone who is open carrying in Condition One? The uneducated officer, believing that a criminal act has been committed, will arrest the person open carrying. This officer will then open himself and his force to lawsuits.
By contacting his chief, you would simply be ensuring that an officer who has already shown an ignorance of the law, would receive the training necessary to keep some innocent person from being arrested for commision of a non-criminal act.
