Firearm in vehicle on certain propety?

[sparky32]

I park in a garage dowtown. (senate ave) I was curious if a firearm locked in a vehicle would be a no no at this location because it is specificly cited in the code but only on a "person". Not sure if im reading it correctly? Thanks

Gonna need more info about who owns the garage and what code you are referencing.

The state owns garage. Im just confused on the wording a little. 25 IAC 7-2-1 Definitions? Or am i just thinking to much?

Well, you aren't allowed to possess it as soon as you enter the garage so I'm going to say it is a no no. But an IAC is an administrative code, not a criminal code so it isn't an arrestible offense. Not sure what the administrative penalty would be.

Thats what i was curious about. Just does not seem very clear to me?

Are you a state employee? If so the state could impose "punishment" against you for violating the rule. If you were caught, that is.

 

[sparky32]

No not an employee. Just get some good parking privileges for that specific garage.

Leave a gun in a car long enough it will be stolen.

Leave a gun in a car long enough it will be stolen.

I can second that, had one stolen about 10 years ago, I am still under the impression management had it done to send a message, so I no longer leave one in my car, and I won't consent to a search, and when the boss ask me if I learned my lesson, I told him "yes I won't leave one in my car anymore" , I think he knows exactly what I mean but he won't go any further.

Only leave the 10mm and .40cal in your cars.
We don't need those circulating around here. The thugs can have them.

 

[bwframe]

Folks that cannot carry at work should just not carry at all then to and from work?

 

[Drail]

Folks have to make that decision. It should not be up to the company. What if they told you that you had to leave your car keys outside because someone in the building might choke on them? I have quit jobs when told I could not carry or that I would be searched. Gun free zones are nothing but killing fields. Life is already too short......

Does anyone have an informed answer? I know you can't carry on the property but can you leave your firearm locked in your car in these garages? I read this thread (and others) and I don't see a clear answer. Is there a state employee policy somewhere? I can't find it.

Ok, I think I found my answer. Employee handbook at https://www.in.gov/spd/files/eehandbook.pdf

In accordance with rules promulgated by DOA and the Indiana State Police and applicable laws, weapons are prohibited in the IGC Complex. Firearms and ammunition secured out of sight in a person’s locked,personal vehicle are not prohibited.
