IC 34-28-7 Possession of Firearms and Ammunition in Locked Vehicles
Sec. 2. (a) Notwithstanding any other law and except as provided in subsection (b), a person may not adopt or enforce an ordinance, a resolution, a policy, or a rule that: (1) prohibits; or (2) has the effect of prohibiting; an employee of the person, including a contract employee, from possessing a firearm or ammunition that is locked in the trunk of the employee's vehicle, kept in the glove compartment of the employee's locked vehicle, or stored out of plain sight in the employee's locked vehicle.

Just throw it in the glove box, damned with their policy. In fact, it seems their policy itself violates state law. IDK if social workers are exempt from this, but if so, I still agree with the "don't ask, don't tell" crowd.

I'm glad someone posted the actual IC for it although not all of it. There are some exemptions to it. Although since the OP mentioned that their friend was a social worker. During her travels does she visit any of the prohibited places? Here are some of them that may apply to a social worker.

(b) Subsection (a) does not prohibit the adoption or enforcement
of an ordinance, a resolution, a policy, or a rule that prohibits or has
the effect of prohibiting an employee of the person, including a
contract employee, from possessing a firearm or ammunition:
(1) on the property of:
(A) a child caring institution;
(B) an emergency shelter care child caring institution;
(C) a private secure facility;
(D) a group home;
(E) an emergency shelter care group home; or
(F) a child care center;
in violation of 465 IAC 2-9-80, 465 IAC 2-10-79, 465 IAC
2-11-80, 465 IAC 2-12-78, 465 IAC 2-13-77, or 470 IAC
3-4.7-19;
(5) on the property of a domestic violence shelter;
(9) in the employee's personal vehicle if the employee, including
a contract employee, is a direct support professional who:
(A) works directly with individuals with developmental
disabilities to assist the individuals to become integrated into
the individuals' community or least restrictive environment;
and
(B) uses the employee's personal vehicle while transporting
an individual with developmental disabilities.

Concealed means concealed. Always carry never tell.

I'm glad you brought this up. I was having a discussion with a state employee yesterday about firearms. The person casually mentioned they "carry everywhere except work" which they are forbidden to do. This person also travels all over the state to different offices in a rental car provided to them by the state agency. My question would be, is the car then a extension of the employer since it is rented by them and not the employee?

They can often be gone for days at a time also staying at a hotel paid for by the agency in not so great places.

You should know better than to believe anything State employees have to say...
