Indiana police department in Facebook post: We will NEVER take your weapons :: 07/21/2016

A small-town Indiana police department has clarified its stance on martial law in a widely shared Facebook post.

"With all the goings on in the world...The Woodburn Police Department has received requests for information about Martial Law (sic),"wrote police chief Randall W. Duhamell. "LET ME BE CLEAR....We Will NEVER take your weapons...no matter who tells us too!"

The post goes on to state that the department supports the Second Amendment and may use legal gun owners in times of emergency.

As of this writing, the post has been shared more than 2,400 times, which is more than the population of Woodburn itself. The town, east of Fort Wayne, is home to just over 1,500 people.

Comments on the Facebook post were mixed. "Thank you Woodburn PD and I will gladly stand next to you guys and fight with you!" wrote Joey Dunham in a comment.

"No one is going to take your guns," wrote Carol Brown. "This is absurd! The President is not going to declare Marshall Law. OMG. The Country has gone absolutely bonkers."
