URGENT! MAN WITH LONG GUN ON IUPUI CAMPUS DOWNTOWN

[Vic_Mackey]

Not sure if it's the same guy, but they just stopped someone that had a shotgun, an SR1 i believe

 

[Westside]

So, am I still meeting with the 2A student group today or is it postponed?

what time is the meeting?

For safety reasons, I have just initiated lockdown protocol in my apartment. I'm patrolling the bedroom, kitchen and living room in my whitey tighties with my AR-15 on my back and a paper towel roll in my hand. I'll catch him guys.

They're talking about a shotgun "SR1"

That would be a Merkel? i think I'm saying it right

With the AR on it probably feels like the paper towel roll is in your whitey righties though

We are already allowed (it is not illegal). It is just against their policy.

That's why this is so odd. Nothing illegal is happening, but everyone is freaking out.

Is this 100% true? Can you elaborate? Campus is ok, but INSIDE the school is what would be illegal right?

They are asking for more officers to help search. So I doubt it.

Yeah, that's what my research said. I had to look it up.

Like this, I guess...

LOL

 

[Fargo]

and if it was an intentional false report they should be prosecuted.

Actually, I doubt they could be prosecuted. Indiana law generally requires the false reporting of a CRIME in cases like this. What is the crime?

See IC 35-44.1-2-3

Indiana Code 35-44.1-2


Best,

That's a precaution, i would hope.

Per IC only k-12 is illegal. You can go in any campus building legally. It is ONLY against the school policy.

That's the one I was thinking of.

Even IN the campus it's not illegal, just against policy. You could be kicked out of school, or banned from property, but no legal charges can be filled unless you don't leave when asked.

I know of no STATUTE making either illegal. If properly posted, there MIGHT be a criminal trespass.

Still not illegal.

Trespass, maybe, but only because they have a policy against possessing certain items on their property.

There are no laws making it illegal to have a firearm on/in property owned by a college or university.

Colleges/universities are not "schools". it is not illegal it is just against their rules. If you are a student they can expel you. But if you are just some guy walking on campus property they can only ask you to leave and then charge with trespass if you refuse.

Standard caveats apply IANAL.

 

[jgreiner]

Getting the text alerts right now and dental school is on lockdown.
So which one of you guys is walking around with a rifle on campus right now?

So what? Has he climbed a bell tower and started shooting? If not, then what is the big deal?

Given the size of some of the rats in Indy.....carrying a rifle probably isn't a bad idea at all.

i believe they have to ASK you to leave, and you refuse, for it to be criminal.
