Gov. Pence authorizes arming Indiana National Guard facilities and recruiting offices

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (July 18,2015)–In the wake the recent attack on military personnel in Tennessee, Indiana Governor Mike Pence today authorized arming Indiana National Guard at state facilities and recruiting offices.

The executive order authorizes Indiana Adjutant General, Major General Courtney Carr to permit the Guard to arm military personnel at the state’s Guard facilities and recruiting offices and directs several state agencies to assist the Indiana National Guard in implementing the directive.

Governor Pence issued the following statement; “As commander-in-chief of the Indiana National Guard, I will not permit our citizen-soldiers to remain unable to defend themselves and our citizens at facilities in our state. Hoosiers may be assured that those who have stepped forward to defend our state and nation will have the ability to defend themselves.”
