[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1584166, member: 1132"] I believe than a LE agency has a moral, if not legal obligation to investigate an "man with a gun" call, regardless of OC or other carry laws. Based on the laws, it's how the call is handled that's important. Beyond police/citizen relations, I think many Americans are reaching a saturation level regarding .gov intrusion and information sharing. They're already bombarded by requests for additional information from employers, financial institutions, medical practitioners, online merchants, facebook friends, etc. Merchants know more about their buying habits than they do on a concious level. People are concerned about who their information gets shared with and for what purposes. Personally, I have a big concern with HIPPA laws. They're not designed to protect the patient, they're designed to protect the option to legally share information while acting as a placebo for the patient. So when a LE agency wants information, they automatically transfer that concern to the situation at hand. They don't understand that they're not going to wind up on some list. When people have their information taken by my agency, they're frequently afraid they're going to wind up on some special watch list (and we do have such lists). We have constraints regarding "unpublished systems of records". We can't just put someone on a list because we want to. There are many cases where non-actors in an incident don't want to be identified on a report, some with good reason. So when we interact with someone who's not breaking a law and ask them for their personal information, we should be cognizant of their concerns, unfounded or not. That's part of good community relations. [/QUOTE]
