I was just thinking that the number of posts on this sub recently about the legal side of reporting (mental health, background check, safety concerns, etc).

I hope we can compile or sticky these or give a permalink to these like CGN or something informative. These are probably issues that are common but aren’t things we can conveniently ask quickly about from the authorities. Experience helps here, especially on a pseudo-anonymous basis, with proper referrals to legal/medical advice.

Secondly, I just want to point out that as a community, even with issues like these, that so many of the properly licensed are willing to ask the right questions and follow the law that it should be at least shown as such to the public sees that as owners, we are people and a community first who do have real world problems and will put the extra effort to follow the legal requirements if something comes up.

Thoughts?

TL;DR: seen a number of posts asking about health/safety concerns, show the public that PAL holders are people first and concerned citizens who follow the law and go the extra step already. Especially given the targeting by Bill proposals and OICs.
