Your logic may work in Texas, but that's California.It was the weapons fire that a neighbor allegedly heard. Since he was a felon, he is a prohibited person. Tying these two together, would the police not have some good reason to dig deeper or at least obtain a search warranty?
My point is this: if the police hands are tied knowing this guy was known to law enforcement and was awaiting trial for an assault earlier in the year. It goes to reason, that despite getting the police involved and with the misplaced belief the police can prevent a criminal act from occurring before it occurs, this perception is wrong. As I suggested before: police arrest criminals and investigate crimes. Citizens short of taking responsibility for their own personal safety, hence obtaining a firearm and becoming trained in its use cannot expect community policing to protect them despite repeated calls to the police department of a known felon.
