You betcha! :-) Before you dive in head first, I suggest you measure the depth of the water (just don't use BOTH feet!). If the Chief is a fellow you know well, a brother lodge member, sings with you in the church choir, &c, well and good.
Conversely, if you've never met and all you have to go on is his invitation to join up with the local "gun nut" crowd in annoying DHS, BATFE, FBI, CIA, ICE, consider the possibility that this might be a great way to get all the kindred spirits to march right into a FEMA re-education center.
A Word to the wise;
Make damn sure you know what you're doing before you start doing it. The less said the better, trust your friends but not completely. It takes time to organize and caulk all the leaks.
I hate being a wet blanket...

I also hate to join in on the wet-blanket party - Kessler's statement "I will take my uniform off and I will stand with freedom" I will honor and respect, but it brings up the A-Word,
attrition. If all the good guys remove from the ranks what will be left will amount to barely trained third stringers not used to having to function without capable and experienced supervision and mouth breathers with loose screws like the late Mr. Dorner, exponentially escalating departmental incompetence and danger to the community at large on multiple levels. NO, the good guys must stick it out and expand the culture by finding and hiring other good guys and protect that culture by thoroughly training those who have aptitude and can be trained while weeding out leftists and screwballs. You cannot survive by abdicating you institutions to the enemy by default. Every community must realize that in reality the fight is a local one and there have been too many compromises already. Lines must be drawn - "here, this far, NO further".
