Previously, the only ones who could raise the red flag were two police officers or a prosecutor.
Seems like a no brainer.
So someone sees me acting severly abnormal, say a neighbor. They can ask for someone to fill out a report that they think I am looney and have a gun. That would then be evidence that could be investigated by a judge.
Do I have that right?
