Why would you call the police about a business that has a legal right to operate? What would you expect them to do?

I think maybe to find out if there has been any criminal activity linked to guns purchased at this store, to get an idea of the clientele who frequent it and who would therefor be close to the school.

(shudder) Sleepless I'm so sorry you're stuck with this decision. I can't even (rationally) weigh in on it... I have the good ol' Canadian born and bred revulsion/aversion towards guns. I've worked with them too - I've been trained and licensed to carry (for work only). Guns are hideous.

Anyway... I don't know what I would do in your shoes. Ruin the best (yet) educational opportunity for my child over fears of something that may never happen? (This is me trying to be rational wink ) Or take a stand against something I don't believe in?

I wish you the best of luck - I hope you figure out something that works.
