I'm not really upset this occurred.
If it was in fact a rifle in that case we all would be singing a much different song.
We all would be praising the person who called it in instead of crucifying them.
I'm pretty sure I won't be praising them still! Last I checked its not illegal to carry a rifle! People thinking like this is the problem. We might as well just give away our 2nd amendment rights. How do you transport your rifle to your vehicle? You carry it, not illegal! Soon to be in Portland and Eugene with people thinking like that.
