We had our first open carry a few weeks ago. We have local law enforcement numbers at the desk. Our Chief of Police asked to be called even though it might be a non threatening case. Told us to call 911 only if the subject is combative and or brandishing the weapon. Once the weapon is unholstered you should call 911. Hope this helps.

Do any of you have a procedure in place for when someone enters the library with a gun -(in a non-threatening way, of course!) ?
I've been told quite a few years ago to call 911 and have the police come to check permits and such. This certainly doesn't sound like the best, least inflammatory way to handle it, but I don't know of something better.
What do you think?
