Areas in Indiana we cannot carry?

[gregr]

I think this is a valuable thread, as it seems there is some confusion even among many here, about what`s off limits and what isn`t. Isn`t there a comprehensive list somewhere, anywhere, that has factual information on exactly where we may, and may not carry?

Someone should make a "sticky" thread and keep it updated.

I always carry especially at the bank, those places do get robbed occasionally you know.

Why would banks be forbidden? Is this akin to a legal spoonerism? Thinking a Federal Reserve Branch equates to all banks everywhere?

I believe there are prior threads; run a search. If not, I'll do a list tonight after yoga.

I've asked the same questions on post office too. I know why but I still ask that question.

The rationale I saw accompanying the assertion that carrying in banks was illegal was usually (on forums) based on FDIC. The person would equate a bank's FDIC insuring with being a Federal facility. That's factually incorrect, but it made the rounds for a while.

You can't carry in my AO. You MUST carry.

Hah! I have not been unarmed in Kokomo since before I could drive.

Better check that one. Illegal to possess on postal service property. So if you drive across their parking lot just to drop a letter at the drive through box, you're committing a federal crime.

Kinda why I started the collective post.
With help, I'd be happy to keep stuff up to date.

I'm also reminded to mention Licensed Daycare Centers, Head Start, and Child Development Centers, which includes all properties owned / adjacent to the School buildings. (Thanks for the help, eldirector)

If I'm not mistaken, the above ONLY includes facilities that are REQUIRED to be licensed. IE, if a church elects to become licensed that doesn't make them a prohibited place just because they got licenses, they are not REQUIRED to be licensed therefore it is not a prohibited place.

Small nit-pick, but it is a valuable thing to know.

Indeed.

I could not find my church, (a church previously inquired about specifically in this thread) in any of the links/lists that eldirector has provided in that "other" thread on this very thing.

Also noted, that church that has peen previously inquired about specifically in this thread) tends to have SEVERAL armed men (and probably a few women) in each and every weekend service. Some of them are even LEO!

I think it's likely that most churches have several armed people, whether or not they choose to divulge that information is another thing.

I've spotted several even OCing at the church my wife and I attend. They're even bold enough to wear Law Enforcement uniforms!

I know for a fact that with the LEO's we have at our church, plus the others I know, plus several of the church staff, our church is well defended every day... Some of them I question their training and ability to hit their target without collateral damage (not because they are bad people but just because they haven't taken the training I've been exposed to) but going to church takes faith, so I also have faith that they will use proper discretion in defending themselves and those around them.

That's a completely different kind of faith, but I understand.

...
State: secure area of airports, casinos, riverboats, school property (some exemptions) (K-12), State Fair when Fair is in session, state property (Statehouse, State Museum, places like that), county courthouses if ordinance, jails, hospitals with jail floors.

This thread's timing is fortuitous -- I am preparing a little comparison of Texas's "can't carry here" places with other states, in preparation for a bill in 2017 that proposes to whittle down Texas's "can't" to a very small list indeed. I perused Handgunlaw.us and picked up some info, but I am curious about couple more things:

Re: Kirk's list above: "State Property" - does this include any form of state-owned property other than DNR?. Handgunlaw.us list the "Indiana government center campus" as off-limits, but are there other "government centers" off limits? Is carry in county government offices (aside from courts) legal? I am contrasting this with Texas, where state and local government entities are prevented by statute from prohibiting licensed carry on their grounds and premises (buildings) except for courts, secure areas of police stations, jails/prisons. State or county owned museums, libraries, treasurers' offices, planning commission, etc can't just up and ban licensed carry, they are required to permit it.

It also appears to me that licensed carry is not illegal (in Indiana) in polling places, hospitals (except for certain secure wards?), bars, sporting events, nursing homes, amusement parts, churches and other religious venues (except that privately owned facilities may ban carry, but it is just basic trespassing if you are told to leave and don't -- correct?)

I believe licensed carry is not illegal on public (state-owned) universities and colleges, but they may prohibit it by rule and expel violators? Is that correct?

I'm doing some searches, as these are probably covered in some other thread, but jeez is that tedious. Most threads "go INGO" after about five posts, and the thereafter the useful nuggets are hidden among various entertaining tangents.

Yes, you made it in before the "Yoga bomb" was dropped...
