I get that impression. Our locals are guaranteed to show up if there is any indication that a firearm was present - perhaps she should have said he was holding a gun.


Reminds me of the joke about the lady who rang the police about an intruder in her garden shed. "We don't have anyone available to send round at the moment" they said. "Oh I see, in that case I'll get my gun and go and take a look myself". Police response unit appeared moments later. "I thought you said you had a gun?", they asked. "I thought you said you had nobody available to send round", she replied.
