Hello from Ohio

[glenn]

Greetings form the Northeast corner of Ohio..

I've been involved with guns since an early age, I'm now 71 (by the grace of God) and have had my concealed carry license since 2004..My wife also.
My purpose in coming to this site is to get info on your States law regarding concealed carry in an establishment (restaurant) that serves alcohol.. Ohio is, at this very moment working on allowing this in Ohio..
Some of us members of local Ohio gun forums are gathering info on what surrounding States such as Indiana have for laws on this subject..
Hopeing someone can point me in the right direction as to regulations/statutes etc. on this subject..
My thanks for your time..

Welcome to INGO.

That question is easy to answer, because there is no Indiana regulation/statute regarding carrying a firearm into a establishment that serves alcohol.

The list above doesn't mention bars. Does that mean I can carry in a bar? Am I allowed to have a drink while carrying?
Yes, there is no law that prohibits carrying while in a bar or while drinking. However, it is STRONGLY recommended that if you choose to carry in these situations that you absolutely know your limits. If you're a lightweight like me, leave it at home, leave it in the car, or bring an armed friend with you. If you know your reason does not leave you when you have a drink or six, then by all means, continue to carry and continue to respond with the understanding that pulling out your firearm is a last resort (as it should be when sober). Just be aware that if you are in a situation where you need to use your firearm after you have consumed alcohol, the alcohol consumption will likely go in the police report. While a clean, justified shoot may save you in a criminal case, the alcohol may go against you in a civil case. As always, IANAL. Please use your head when making this decision.

A more specific list of where you can NOT carry:
k-12 schools, property used for school functions
school buses
Head Start
preschools
private schools
riverboat casinos
airport sterile areas
shipping ports
State fairgrounds during State Fair
Post office (questionable, as it may not actually be Federal property)
Where prohibited by local ordinance, on gov't property

Some of these are not mandated by state statute, but are delegated. For example, there is no actual law prohibiting carry on riverboat casinos. However, there are laws delegating the authority to the Indiana Gaming Commission to define their own administrative rules. The IGC has significant "teeth" to enforce their administrative rules, including providing for criminal prosecution.
