Any progress on this? It seems beyond the pale to me that we now have people presenting firearms like we live in an American movie. Just because no-one was shot (how long before that changes?), doesn't mean this is not important. As a community we need to make it clear that this is unacceptable. Anyone who knows anything about this SHOULD share their information with Police. Do it anonymously if you must, but do it.
