Here is the info to contact the town council should you be so inclined to complain to the ones who hired him:

Council may be contacted at:
100 West State St.
P.O. Box 230
Pendleton, IN 46064
Phone: 765-778-2173

Donald E. Henderson

Jeanette Isbell

Interesting to note that he has "authority" over a population of around 3,100, and Pendleton houses more criminals (3,300) than average good citizens.

Maybe that's why he needs the tight shirt - so that everyone outside of the correctional facilities' walls will respect his authoritah!

I'm game. Maybe Kirk would wanna go?

I realize this will not be a popular opinion, but I agree with the cop. Just because you can do something does not mean you should. Carry all the guns you want, but why do they need to be seen. It just seems that some people do this to get attention. I know I would not want to see guns on every hip and the fair.

Call him up at home, at 2:30 AM, and say, out of the blue, "I know you are, but what am I?"

This way, you get not only the satisfaction of waking him up, you get to confuse the heck out of him.

At least you realize its not popular.

So you support the government harrassing and intimidating citizens based not on the rule of law, but instead on the opinion of whatever government official you happen to be dealing with?

If you are ashamed of your guns, that's your business, and you are entitled to your opinion, but your distaste and disdain for freedom is the business of the rest of us, because then you are a threat to our freedom.

Please... PLEASE.. don't turn this into an OC/CC debate...

A citizen got boned tonight by a 5-member town council hired LEO with badge balls. He was then told he had a penis in a holster on his hip.

That is the issue. Not whether or not you want to see guns on hips.

I normaly CC myself just due to this sort of thing. But I do think it was total BS for that chief to treat him like that. When he told me on the phone what happened all I could think was wtf? You'd think for a chief he'd know his law better than that. I wonder what he'd say if me and dracconix both went down there sometime OC'ing. Me with possibly two on me, lol. I think that guy would blow his top, lol.
