I get what you're saying, but
You got the professional, like most of us here, who carry our side arm in a smart holster and it is just a part of our daily carry like a cell phone. We don't draw attention to it, we aren't touching it or holding on to it. We are quiet, trained, professionals.
They make belt-holsters for cell-phones, so they're more easily accessible and don't take up room in your pockets. Here in Texas (at least) most folks outside the most urbanized areas carry a pocket knife, the clip frequently visible over the pants pocket. They don't always get used much, but they are there for the utility they give over bare fingers. In Ohio, I've gotten some funny looks for this habit, but never a MWAK call. I don't see how a gun is any different, other than a lack of public exposure and education. How many 911-callers even know open-carry is legal when they phone in these bogus tips? Are they reprimanded or punished like other frivolous callers? Heck, I'd call in a MWAG here in Texas if I saw some dude strapped with six-guns in town, but that's only because I know OC is prohibited, and that posted laws are to be obeyed.
I wouldn't go around telling non-gunnies we're "quiet, trained, professionals" either. It's bad enough they think we're evil and stupid; we don't need them thinking we're evil and
competent. It's the "evil" perception that needs correcting, not their opinion on the wisdumb of our actions.
On a lighter note, what professionals don't love showing off their fancy cell phones and other toys? It's hilarious that we expect more of a right to bear a device used invariably to throw mindless drivel back and forth, than to posses a tool that may be critical to the preservation of our very lives. Methinks it isn't a fair trade...
"Its legal here, even though you don't see it every day, we aren't sending any units"
Man, I'd settle for "Is he doing anything else
besides being a MWAG?" I don't think the operators even ask in these situations, and officers frequently get sent in with no idea what to expect (case in point the subject of this thread).
Maybe it's not about the Constitution, BoR, liberal governments and an oppresive militaristic police force, maybe it's all just a case of CYA.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. The problem is, stupid, unecessary CYA leads to only one logical conclusion--the abolition of all freedom. Dictators exist to C-their own-A
