Definition of "School"

[Soundslikejosh]

Ok, so I am sure I have seen this information before, but have been searching the site for a while and cannot locate the link again. I am trying to find in the Indiana Code where it defines "school". My understanding is that it is limited to K-12, but everybody knows you don't trust what someone types, so I am looking for a citation of the code or a link. Someone on the Student's for Concealed Carry on Campus group asked for this info, and as I know I have seen it, I figured I would enlist your help.

I appreciate it, as I know this topic has already been covered


but my research here and the IN.gov site turn up zilch.
Thanks.
P.S. I love the beating-a-dead-horse emoticon.

Are you part of the facebook group for IU (assuming you go here )?

From what I've read, a university doesn't count as a school. All we really need to fight for is for the Universities to change their policies.

I disagree. That is an important fight, but as you say, a matter of policy rather than law.

It's far more important that we get the law changed so that our License to Carry is valid in schools and on school grounds.

Nate, I am not a part of the IU-SCCC facebook group but am on the national facebook group. We can get together at mother bear's sometime if you like. I have been stumping this week around campus, though not today due to other obligations. Maybe tonight. The campus leader and I passed out fliers by sample gates on tuesday, and it was somewhat productive. Maybe again tonight, or tomorrow afternoon possibly. PM me if you want a cell number so you can join us.

Agreed, our LTC should cover anywhere and everywhere we decide to go. I'm fed up of the hand picking of which natural rights, as illustrated in our constatution, we can have or not have.

As a noted and brilliant pro-gun attorney noted recently (who is also a classy dresser, a smooth dancer and a heck of a guy) all we need to do is add less than 12 words to the Indiana Code to create an exemption for all holders of LTCH from Indiana or any other state or nation.

I agree! We should be able to carry in schools (and other places but I will leave that for another thread)
