Why would there be a police report? The article said nothing of that. If the cops did not respond to a call that someone was on the trail armed, and someone got hurt. Would that be ok? That’s why we want to be able to carry in state and federal parks, because there are crazy people out there. How do the cops know if someone is or isn’t breaking the law, without investigating? Suppose the person was a felon and it was illegal for him to be armed or they were of middle eastern ethnicity? My info is available already.

Don’t understand your point.
Are you saying that if I am sitting in my car outside a bank a police officer has the right or need to investigate if I might be planning on robbing the bank?
Surely they don’t know if I am breaking the law or not if they do not investigate..

Any time you are dispatched on a call, a record of that call and what occurred as a result of the call, are made.

Seriously? You're being serious here?

The police have no right to start investigating your legal ability to carry a gun unless they can demonstrate probable cause: e.g. that you are a felon or that you are carrying out a felony.

If OC is legal, there is no probable cause involved in simply carrying a gun.
