The law answers what the government could do (it could prosecute, it could seize the weapon, it could question the suspect, it could get a warrant to search for it). | |

| Jun 21, 2022 at 8:16 | comment | added | Greendrake | This doesn't answer the question which boils down to whether the specific kind of report would normally trigger the police to act. It is not so much about what the law requires the police to do but rather what their usual practices are in regards to handling reports like this. | |
