Repped! I live in Fort Wayne, hate the chief and what he stands for! I personally think Paul Helmke and Rusty York are a waste of skin and air.
I do like the Sheriff Ken Fries, very pro gun and goes out of his way to protect our rights.
Going to have to adapt this to Police cheif cox, of the purdue police department.
What did the Purdue Police Chief do or say?
PUPD Chief while arguing against allowing lawful carry on campus said:“When we get that 911 call and we send two to three uniformed officers and there are two or three guys shooting at each other, who’s the bad guy?” he said. “Our officers are trained to eliminate the threat. When there’s chaos, the officers aren’t going to know who’s the good guy and who’s the bad guy.
Is Mr. York still in office?
Is Mr. York still in office?
Yes, yes he is...
I would say he is not a proponent. Sounds more like he wants no weapons on campus.Being my first post, I don't want to start off offending anyone...but I am curious as to what is wrong with what the PUPD chief stated?

He makes a valid point. I know some departments train their officers to use extreme caution when responding to any situation off duty and in plain clothes, as responding officers may not know who they are and treat them as a threat. Knowing this, I understand his concern. That being said, as a college student myself I am a huge proponent for carry on any campus.

This is being hashed out in another thread, so I have to amend my earlier post here.I would say he is not a proponent. Sounds more like he wants no weapons on campus.

The Chief, not you.Are you referring to me? Or the PUPD chief? If you were referring to me, nothing about what I stated indicates that I am against weapons on campus. I am not even sure how you would come to that conclusion, especially since I explicitly stated that I am in fact a proponent of carrying on campus. I was simply wondering why previous posters had referred to that particular quote, and stated that it was reason to send the chief a letter. He was simply citing a general concern for law enforcement officers in regards to an active shooter incident.
