I wonder if we can expect this reaction more often given the recent events that have dominated the news. Its not illegal, nor particularly rare to see someone carrying a firearm in a state building. Had I answered the 911 call, I would have probably replied with a "so what"?

"In light of recent workplace violence issues we would like to err on the side of caution," Melton said. "You've got to take it on its face value that you are dealing with what you are dealing with and when somebody calls and says 'hey, we've got a guy with a gun,' you've got to react accordingly."
In light of state law why are you calling about a guy with a gun????

Now, a guy wearing a sweater with the words "Jesus Christ Superstar" would deserve a phone call....
