“The Portland Police Bureau, however, asks anyone who sees someone armed with guns to immediately call 911.”
So call someone with a gun if you see someone with a gun?
I don’t think the timing is right to do something like this. The average non-gun owner doesn’t understand this.
What if they are going into a crowded mall armed with chain saws and rattlesnakes?
“Oh, 911? yeah, never mind!, He ain't got no guns though his snakes are eating a few tykes and he's carving a few poor guys into pork chops—but he ain't got no guns so go after them duck hunters who may get drunk and shoot off a cypress limb.
Hopefully the switchboards are flooded with calls from everybody who sees a cop.
Maybe a few 911 calls when people see armed cops?
Might send a message.
