I literally just got off the phone with the mayor FINALLY.
at first he said he didn't want to discuss the matter with me and that the lawyers would handle it. After speaking to him a bit he decided we could sit down and have a meeting next Thursday at 10am to express the concerns of gun owners and discuss terms for the permit.
Good on ya Dan. I guess he forgot the "cal when the guy is at work" rule.
Any bets on if "Da Mayor" will have an emergency and be a no-show?
Would love to hear peoples opinions on what should be said at the meeting. We are working on the letter for requesting the permit. As well as something on paper explaining what we want, what the officers have done wrong, and what they shouldve done (possibly putting down the impd procedures for handling a gun owner) to give to the mayor as a visual aid while we discuss the matter.
all opinions appreciated! !
I wonder if Denny, Frank, VUPDBlue, etc have access to official policy they can provide? It might go over better on IMPD "stationery" than just "here is what I say IMPD (supposedly) does Mr. Mayor. You have to take my word for it since you probably wont seek out their guidance on your own after our meeting".
What do you mean stationery?
on offical IMPD letter head that shows this is the offical police for IMPD.
Would love that! Anyone have it? Or should I reach out to an Impd ingoer
With official letterhead , or not moving.What do you mean stationery?

There's this,
§ 130.06 WEAPONS.
(A)
Discharge prohibited. It is unlawful for any person, except an officer of the law in the discharge of his or her duties, to carry in a loaded condition, hunt with or discharge any firearm, pistol, gun or shotgun which acts by force of gunpowder or any weapon from which a shot or projectile is expelled by an explosive, within the city.
(Prior Code, § 11-9) (Ord. 656, § 1)
which sounds like it blatantly contradicts the preemption references in IC 35-47. Poorly written, the subject of the paragraph is not actually referenced in the body.

Yes, that is the topic. And within that topic is a regulation that no one besides a LEO may carry in a loaded condition. Also you have a grammatical error in your sig line, i.e. *you're
