INDIANAPOLIS/HOUSTON – An Indiana native wants to arm law-abiding
citizens in high crime areas throughout Indianapolis with free shotguns
in an effort to help people protect their homes and families.
Kyle Coplen was born and raised in Rochester, Indiana. He studied at
Ball State University and then moved to Houston, Texas, to continue his
eduction. Earlier this year, he created the Armed Citizen Project (ACP), as part of a thesis project that will provide research for his theory that firearms can deter crime.
“Guns are used to stop over four million crimes a year. Ninety
percent of the time that a gun is used to stop a crime, it doesn’t even
need to be fired,” he tells Fox 59. “The study that’s gonna come out of
this, doing this all across the country and multiple cities, we can
prove hopefully what our hypothesis is and that’s that criminals have no
intention of dying in your hallway.”
He’s already arming dozens of people in Texas and has plans to bring
his movement to Indianapolis. But before he does, Fox 59′s Aishah Hasnie
flew to Houston to get an exclusive, up-close look at his program.
