Idaho Fed LEO visits IN, carry?

[Scutter01]

OK, so an off-duty officer can carry anywhere in their jurisdiction?

I can't find anywhere in the Indiana statutes where LEOs are prohibited from carrying (on or off duty). I know the casino administrative rule prohibits it, though, so I doubt they can carry there when off-duty. I don't know about federal property either.

Oh, so "local" doesn't mean "local to that school" and any off-duty PO can carry in any school in the country?

Sorry for being so dense, IC makes my brain hurt.

Riverboats. Only on riverboats. This includes French Lick, but not the Anderson or Shelbyville casinos.

Er...I only quoted Indiana law, not Federal law.

Sorry, I worded that wrong...It should have said: So, any off-duty officer in the Country can carry in any school in Indiana?

I told you IC makes my brain hurt.

The law doesn't seem to differentiate between on-duty and off in the case of carry at schools, nor does it seem to be limited to only Indiana police.

These two statements are mutually exclusive.

No, they are not. The character of the man denotes that his actions and intent have no nefarious nature. In a black or white world (it doesn't exist) your strict interpretation would carry. In reality the world consists of colors of gray.

Put simply, Detective "A" plays good cop and Detective "B" plays bad cop in an interrogation. By your constraints each would be of questionable character but their intent and results bring about the higher good, legally, by policy and statute. Your position doesn't recognize discretion which any honorable man practices with the higher good kept as the objective.

No, they are not.

Of course they are. You suggested that all he has to do is lie and say that "he can state any suspicion of contraband or questionable activity and he is golden". Lying about something in order to circumvent the law does not make a man of high moral character in my opinion. By your interpretation, all I have to do is tell people that I'm a cop and I'm golden to carry on school grounds, but that would still make me a liar (and a criminal).
