The cop is wrong.

Yes you can.

You cannot in some other states.

Yes you can.

Unless posted otherwise. Then it could potentially be a problem. Casinos and schools are obviously different.

That's what I thought but i cant seem to find any legal info on the internet that says you can

That's because laws tell you what is illegal, not legal.

It is legal therefore there is no law to be found.

 

[esrice]

Unless posted otherwise.

Not even then.

They can ask you to leave, and you can be charged with trespassing if you refuse, but its still not illegal to carry in a bar with a posted sign.

Laws don't work that way. Laws exist to prohibit specific activity. If it is not prohibited, it is allowed.

Edit: esrice is way faster than me tonight.

The IC only prohibits carry in Riverboat Casinos.

And the IC does not prohibit carry in bars, as has been said.

I would assume he meant that you can't drink and carry in a bar maybe?

Still perfectly legal.

Probably not smart, but legal.

No. He just outright lied.

This is what happens when anti's teach an unsuspecting public.

i've been here before. i got lied to by the owner of the bar, but given that my buddy's mom worked there, i just put it in the truck. next to my five other guns that were in the truck. my buddy was still carrying, so he could have just covered me as i sprinted to the truck and got the real guns. but anyways, yeah you can carry.

as a cop once told me, lying isn't illegal.

This, I do know you cannot in Ohio.

You can carry in a bar in Indiana.

You can drink in a bar in Indiana.

One of these is discouraged, but everyone knows their limits. I've OC'd into, and drank in, a few bars. It is 100% legal in Indiana.

Not until their new law goes into effect!!!! I think they have a 1 July "start date" for new laws as well.

To quote Kirk Freeman from another thread:

This technique, if deliberate, is called "chaffing" or "seeding", throwing up incorrect information as to laws with the hope that people act in compliance with what the police wish the law to be.

You can drink and carry at a bar

Actually it's 90 days after the Governor signs the bill. The Ohio Legislature has passed it and sent it to the Governor this week but he has not signed it yet. He has stated however that he will, and unless he vetoes it the law automatically takes effect 10 days after he receives it whether he signs or not. So it'll be sometime around Oct 1st that carrying in an establishment with a liquor license becomes legal in Ohio.
