Indiana "NO Guns" signs?

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to post the picture so had to post the link to the "Official" Illinois State Police "No Guns" sign. It seems there are a lot of "Soccer moms" and other gun haters complaining about their kids having to see these scary guns posted everywhere. It will traumatize the little children seeing these everywhere. I realize there are only a few places in Indiana that are posted and I wonder what the signs look like. The one I posted here is the official sign and has to be at least 4" X 6" in size and is the only one that carries the weight of law. Thanks, Jim.

ummm, I still see a gun?

I wouldn't be carrying a gun that isn't "cocked and locked" like the one pictured so I guess I'm ok

No official sign in Indiana. In actuality, signs really don't mean much of anything (in a legal sense) here.

Doesn't apply to me. I don't own/carry a Beretta M9/92/96...

Hey, that was gonna be my next jab.

I think I will print the no gun sign and post it in the windows of my house so a bad guy will not try to come in with a gun.

I feel so safe when seeing a no gun sign in the window of a business.

Casinos maybe? Maybe the BP up in Whiting?

1. There is no "official sign" in Indiana.

2. Most of the signs you see are declarations of general policies and one would need to be thrown out of the Woolworth before being prosecuted.

3. Arguably the language necessary to trigger Criminal Trespass would need to be precisely worded under Criminal Trespass statute.

4. Other than airports and schools, I am unaware of a prosecution for a gun in a "no guns" area.

During my meeting with the chief of police in Carmel he said the worst a business can do is ask you to leave at first.

Yea, that is correct. No sign disallowing guns (even at the threat of trespassing), no matter the language, placement, or what not holds the weight of law. The law does not allow people to define what is or is not trespassing. It clearly states a person is either expressly allowed or denied and does not permit them to extend that law to include variables such as the presence or lack of objects on, in, or around them. Really you have two options "no trespassing" to cover all or you allow all. Anything else could actually start to touch on civil rights violations for the property owner.

The only places where they do hold weight is where, by law, the location is a dangerous gun-free zone. However, you should avoid those places like the plague because almost all mass shootings and random acts of violence occur at these locations (for obvious reasons).

What really chaps my ass with this sign in a door is that if I were a business owner and put on my door your cell phone is subject to search I would be sued for violating their fourth amendment rights. Whereas the second amendment they just say tuff ****.

The Constitution protects your rights from gov't intrusion, not private citizen intrusion. You could be sued, but not as a 4th amendment violation.

I would have some of my own signs handy, OP. Some stickers for those places that post that sign. Something to the effect of: "Danger! This establishment is a free fire zone! Enter at your own risk!
