> Yes. Unless someone is threatening you or others, there is zero reason to call in armed authorities, regardless of which laws you think they may have broken. Do you call the cops for every single trivial infraction you witness each day? If someone is breaking the law and it doesn’t harm anyone, that’s between them and their conscience. Why should you care at all?

So, let’s say I see a couple guys going into an elementary school carrying guns, you are saying I should just mind my own business? Why should I care at all, right? I’ll hear about it later on the news, I am sure.

So, just to be clear a last time, you are saying, in plain language, that someone carrying a gun in a gun free zone is absolutely no cause for concern unless they are actively pointing it or firing it at others?
