French Lick Scenic Railway Concealed Carry?

[Tater36]

I am taking my kids to ride the Thomas the Train in French Lick this weekend. Can I carry on the train? I don't see anything in the state law against it... any input?

 

[SteveM4A1]

I don't know of any law that would prohibit it, but IANAL. If it is concealed, then why worry about it? After all, concealed means concealed

 

[Trigger Time]

It shouldn't be against federal and definitely not state laws. Might be against their "policy" so I'd carry concealed.

 

[Tater36]

Thanks gents, thats what I'm thinking...

Who owns/runs the train?

IDNR? ACoE? FRA-DoT?

 

[Mr. Habib]

The Indiana Railway Museum owns it.

If you're going on a weekend when they have one of those train robbery holdup reenactments, whatever you do, don't shoot back. They look real enough but all they're doing is collecting for charity.

 

[Mr. Habib]

My wife's cousin Vance is one of the 'bandits'. I'm sure he would appreciate that.

I may or may not have been CC when my family went on the the murder mystery ride.

How odd it must be the water there.................I don't remember if I did or not last time I was on that train either! Oh well!

 

[Ruffnek]

That's funny,I just was wondering about this last night.

 

[SteveM4A1]

These rides sound very fascinating! May have to make a trip up there.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

So, it is state property then?

Did you call and see if there is a rule? There might be.

 

[Trigger Time]

I don even think it's illegal on FRA rails. But it's deffinately against their rules and they WILL ban you from the train if your caught with one. I do know they want you to "check" your firearms in a box like the airlines. Although I believe it can't be a locked box. I'm not real sure.
i do know at bigger train stations like Chicago they have random bag checks and xray by TSA agents.

 

[sparkyfender]

Carry concealed and you will be fine. I've ridden the train and carried. The subject never came up........

Same here! We've done it twice, once was one of the train robbery rides, and then we went again last month for the regular ride. I don't think there are any signs posted anywhere about firearms, either, and if there are, they are not in an obvious place.

The train goes by Larry Birds boyhood home, too!

Well it's a Thomas the tank engine kid ride, surely they won't rob it! Can you imagine all the 4 year old tears!?!

I'm sure Sir Toppemhat would be dismayed at all the confusion and delay.
