Older guy in his late 40's. Man , that hurt!!
Much like the young gentlemen who wrote this observation, I too was only two buildings away from the "threat." I stayed in the public areas and hallways of the building throughout the ordeal and ignored the ONE faculty member who walked through asking people to lock themselves in rooms.THANK YOU the1kidd for your insight and comments. VERY well worth the read.
A lot of this could have been stopped with some responsible questions.
"OMG A MAN WITH A GUN, HEEEEELP"
"This is 911. Is he brandishing it?"
"Well.... no...."
"Where is the gun?"
"It's... uhm... I think it's in his trunk...."
"So he doesn't have the gun out"
"Well, it might just be a gun case... or... guitar case...."
"Ma'am, grow a pair and **** off. You will never make it in the world on your own."
Rather, here's how it probably went:
"OMG THERE'S A MAN WITH A GUN, HEEEEELP!"
"911 here... OMG REALLY! I'LL SEND ALL THE COPS."
The call took place right next to the building where we were scheduled to meet the administration. Your train of thought here is exactly what was going through my head when this madness all started yesterday.
Good point. I'll see what I can get my hands on.Nexst to the flagpole?
I am at "more likely than not" that this was a political act by the administration/faculty.
Are you going to get the police report? It would be interesting to see who reported this. What his or her job is. What relationship to IUPUI administrators or faculty that person has.
Just askin', not handing out homework assignments.
1. Start with finding out who called it in.
2. Find out how they are related to IUPUI adminstration.
3. Find out what the enemy's radio traffic has been saying about stirring up false reports.
4. See if the complaintant is related to the enemy in any way.
5. Any chatter on the IUPUI faculty e-mail list about "concealed carry" on campus and how to stop it.
Unknown caller? Those days are ay over.
The po-po will have the phone number. IUPUI will have video.
Sorry, but I vehemently disagree, because that 'answer' just isn't gonna cut it.Instead, since we can't prove a negative ... go find the definition of "school" in the Indiana Code that INCLUDES colleges and universities. Good luck.
There is not a prosecutor in this state that would attempt to file charges on someone carrying a gun on a college campus if that gun is either a long gun or the person possesses an LTCH. Want to know why? Because it's not illegal.Sorry, but I vehemently disagree, because that 'answer' just isn't gonna cut it.
While I understand (and respect) your position, the flippant response can, quite easily, get someone arrested for carrying on campus. UNLESS there's something stated that a college or university is NOT a "school", for the reasons cited above, it's like considered that they ARE schools.
Up to the individual, of course. But I prefer NOT to bother going to court and spending beaucoup bucks on hiring attorney's to 'prove' I'm 'right'.
And my HIGH suspicion is that IF someone were to get arrested for it, the prosecution is absolutely going to use the same references I did here to support their position that colleges and universities ARE schools.
It would THEN be up to the individual / defendant to provide references (evidence) that colleges and universities are not. So, what is that individual gonna cite? "SOME random guys (even lawyers) on the INGO gun forum SAY colleges and universities are NOT schools. That's good enough for me and I have my rights!". THAT'S their 'defensible' position?
LMAO! "Good luck" with THAT! Obviously, those types have never been in a courtroom, LOL...

I have first hand experience of officers being told they can't file any charges on someone for having a gun on a college campus. And the relevant IC has been posted further up on this page. Any more questions?
Apparently people have been asking for answers and aren't getting anything that we don't already know
