Where can you not carry with a LTCH?

[Sylvain]

Im sure there is already a thread about that on INGO but I couldnt find it.


Where is it illegal to carry in Indiana with a LTCH?

All I could find was this:

"It is illegal to carry a concealed weapon, even sporting arms, on school property or on a school bus, on an airplane or in the controlled section of an airport, on a riverboat gambling cruise, or at the Indiana State Fair."

I already read that it was illegal to carry in a federal building but I coudln't find the text about that.

Does that mean that its also illegal to carry a hangun in a post office building?

Do I have to assume that all the places where its not illegal to carry are therefore legal?

Like public transports (buses and train but not school buses), I always heard it was illegal to carry a gun in a bus but it doesnt say anything about that does it?
I know some buses have a "no gun sign" but its not a legal document and doesnt mean anything to me.

Or public places with "no weapon policy" like a library.
Can that legally stop you from carrying your gun?

That is still debated. Many folks carry (even OC) at their Post Office with no issues.

Yep. Tends to work out that way. Unless specifically noted as off-limits, it is legal.

Typically not illegal, but local ordinance may make it so. Some businesses may have their own policy as well. For instance, IndyGo (the buses) maye have a "no firearms" rule, but Indianapolis does not have a city code that backs it up. Indy Parks, however, does have a city ordinance banning firearms.

Or public places with "no weapon policy" like a library.

Again, local ordinances.

Basically, you need to know local, state, and federal law.

Local laws can only control carry on government-owned or administered property. Parks and government buildings, for instance. They cannot control "public places", like the sidewalk.

Private property, including businesses, can have their own policies. These are not laws, but can be enforced by asking you to leave. Failure to comply isn't a firearms issue, but trespass.

The FAQ (linked above) does a much better job at detailing this than I can!

Don't forget THIS part...

This means to me that if you have the school's permission ("authorization"), you can carry there. Now, this obviously won't happen with public schools, but private schools may be a different matter.

INGO has a FAQ??!?

you can not carry in a bar, thats a given banks, things like that

???

 

[ATM]

???

Um, yeah...

Both of those are absolutely wrong.

Bars and banks are fine.

 

[jbombelli]

Absolutely incorrect for the State of Indiana. Carrying in both bars and banks is completely legal here.

 

[Hayseed_40]

In Michigan bars are a no-no. In Indiana it is legal but not advisable if you are drinkning.

I really really really hope you were kidding

 

[Sylvain]

Agree with you.
Yes because something is legal doesnt mean you should do it.
If you carry in a bar and drink (im talking to the point where it would be illegal to drive) while carrying your gun that's a BAD idea.
If you dont drink or just drink a little I fine.

"INGO has a FAQ?" This gets asked a lot. Maybe it should be in the FAQ.

Check out Bryan Ciyou's book, Indiana Handgun Law, Third Edition. He is a site advertiser and has probably the most comprehensive text on the Indiana law. In this edition, he actually went through every local jurisditiction and found all of the gun related laws. He also explains the federal laws and give examples.
