approach him or try to capture him themselves.>>

 

It states in PoA in the article that Harry reads on the KNight bUs that Fudge allowed the muggle Prime Minister to say Black has a gun in order to make it clear that whether her has a gun or not, Black should be considered armed and dangerous.



<<The Scene-
PoA Chapter 21 AmEd HB Pg 392: Dumbledore has just talked with Sirius
and is now in the hospital wing where he throws everyone out so he can
talk in private to Harry and Hermione. As soon as they are alone,
Harry and Hermione both start talking at once desperatly trying to
explain what happened. It goes something like this-

"-- Professor, Black's telling the truth -- we /saw/ Pettigrew--"
"-- he escaped when Professor Lupin turned into a werewolf--"
"-- he's a rat --"
"-- Pettigrew's front paw, I mean, finger, he cut it off--"
Now the important one.
"-- Pettigrew attacked Ron, it wasn't Sirius --"

Pettigrew attacked Ron? 

Are they excited and confused? 

Is it a desperate attempt to shift blame from Sirius? 

Are they desperately grasping at straws, or did Peter attack Ron?

Just a thought.

Pettigrew did attack Ron right before he transformed back into his animagus form.  It was a way of ensuring a clean escape from the scene because Lupin was off being a werewolf, Sirius was protecting the kids from Lupin, and Harry and Hermoine were worried about Sirius and Lupin, so Ron was the only one able to stop Pettigrew, so Pettigrew stunned him and transformed.
