Firearm registration on a call

[Tacit Blue]

With new longgun registration in effect. I know dispatchers can see if the residence or homeowner has firearms in his name. I've heard plenty of traffic from dispatchers advising the home owner to "put them away". i.e. " 415 family" or domestic violence, noise compliants, etc.

I was wondering with the new longgun registration, if officers enroute to a call are more "alert' if a record came back as a 762x39 rifle or 556?


Obviously the person's of interest behavior is key during a call. But, this generally change the overall tone of the call?


Just a curious EMT here

Doesn't really change anything for me.

Since the DROS change happened 1 Jan 2015, at the moment the number of registered long guns is mostly intrafamilial transfers and new resident registrations, plus maybe a couple 10's of thousands for 2015. Not really a lot of weapons covered yet.

Uh. You "know" this? Well I "know" that our dispatchers don't run everyone who calls, nor can they just look up what guns are registered to an address. Nor do they have the time or ability to run a cell phone, get subscriber info, find a DOB and race to put with the name via google/Facebook/instawhatever, then run them for guns befor we get anywhere. Heck nor does my dispatch know how to run a person for guns, period.

Besides, there is a gun that can kill me on every call i go to. Now if somehow dispatch hears about weapons, they'll maybe tell us. And if they hear rifle, they'll tell us. But to them a gun is a gun, they don't know the difference.
