Police respond in force to SE Portland gun store -- confusing customer and staff | OregonLive.com
I would debate the man's sanity. He was going to the Gun Room. I'm guessing he was confused because he was looking to pick up a Glock.
All joking aside, I'm guessing this is probably pretty common reaction in Portland. If you have a gun in Portland you probably look "nervous and sweating" or "dangerous" or some other condition that results in a call to the police.
Police responded in force to reports of a man with a gun in Southeast Portland late Monday -- only to find a confused customer and staff at a gun store.
A passerby outside the Gun Room Inc., 5537 S.E. Foster Rd., called 9-1-1 about 6 p.m. to report that a man standing outside was holding a gun and looked "nervous and sweaty," said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a Portland Police Bureau spokesman.
Area residents reported seeing officers surround the shop and set up a perimeter with assault rifles drawn. But police quickly realized the "suspicious" man was there to sell a gun. They left without issuing any citations, Simpson said.
