That and I suspect a lot of people don't even report this sort of thing because they believe that it's pointless. I think they're wrong in such cases, but I can definitely understand why; when police don't take property and trespassing crimes seriously, people lose faith. Depending on the state one lives in, it can be concerning to report that one used a gun in public even if the trigger was never pulled. I'm a gun owner, and even though I would want to give the police a report of an incident, I would feel hesitation because I live in California; do I really want to tell police in California that I was holding a gun for anything but target practice? Better leave well enough alone and not take a chance.
