It's not against the law to carry a firearm in a bar in Indiana.
Same for movie theaters.

Two things to look at:
Places forbidden by federal and/or state law (Federal property per 18 USC 930), courthouses, the State Capitol and government center buildings, K-12 schools, licensed day cares, the State Fair, casinos, etc. Carrying here is a felony.

Places that per owner/management prohibit firearms. If they tell you to leave and you don't, it's criminal trespass (A-Misdemeanor). Concealed means concealed. OC at Wal-Mart? No one notices. OC at a theater? You'll probably be asked to leave before you get your popcorn.

However, both are places that are very likely to ask you to leave their private property, when they witness you OC'ing.

Carry at the State Fair is not a felony or even a crime. It is just a violation of the IAC. Still not a good idea to be seen.

 

[Tanfodude]

Saddle Up is a no go place.

Yep, beat me to it.

 

[Sylvain]

Yep, beat me to it.

So what happens if you get caught? You just get kicked out and possibly get a fine?

Saddle Up is a no go place.

Depends on the movie theater. Most places you'll just be asked to leave though. Which is most likely at a movie theater as several have said. You can look at the laws but a lot of places it's not so much look them up as you won't know their policy until you see a no guns sign on the door or are approached by someone to "kick you out." I'd say if in doubt cover it up!

 

[wtburnette]

I have been to enough places near me to know which ones I can open carry in and which ones I can't. When I'm heading somewhere new, say to meet friends at a bar or restaurant, I'll normally call first to find out if they have an issue with it or not. It's a lot easier to change plans to a 2A friendly business than to get to the new place and be hassled. If I'm not sure, I usually wear a cover garment.

I carry concealed because it causes less drama. What people don't see won't freak them out.

It was fun sitting next to my very liberal SIL as she is going on about how "nobody needs a gun" and "she would never feel safe being around guns"...

Thankfully the bar we frequent does not have such a policy.

I would have had more fun OCing in that scenario. Especially to see if she would even notice the gun on my hip.

Then Id have to deal with the MIL for freaking out the SIL...

A store owner that I've known for decades told me he would notice if someone was concealing a gun...
I was OCing my S&W model 19 (.357)
His jaw dropped when I pointed it out.

You could point out to her that 1 in 6 Hoosiers has a LTCH.
So, no matter where she goes, with certain exceptions, she is probably near someone carrying.

It always amazes me that a Frenchman knows more about Indiana gun laws than many Hoosiers.

And it amazes me how often OC is practically CC.
