    Do casinos in IN HAVE to have a lock box for your firearm?

    I know the answer and want to see if anyone can find the real answer.

    You know the answer? Then why waste our time with this?

    I wanted to see if anyone else knows about the waiver from Aug 30 2013. No one has said anything about it when anyone has asked about casinos.
    The IAC has been post a few times and it said they shall have lock boxes.

    it also said you can't carry in the casino, we know that.

    I went to Hoosier Park Sunday and talked to 2 IGC agents about not having lock boxes there & I even showed them the IAC.

    Because to carry there is a criminal act, and most of us prefer to not have to pay large fines or spend time in jail.

    I'm not sure it's criminal, it's a "rule" not law, but you still have "Failure to comply with this rule may result in immediate removal from the casino, immediate detention by security personnel, the imposition of civil penalties, or exclusion under applicable law."

    So, kicked out, detention, civil penalties and no coming back. So I tried to follow the rule, but the casinos don't have to.

    I was under the impression that Casinos were off limits, legally.
    The law says "Riverboat Casinos", but my understanding is that ALL Casinos are considered "Riverboats" for the purpose of law..

    The Riverboat part has been removed & that's how/why they got the waiver for the lock boxes.

    OK, that makes sense. And reading through the IGC Laws, it says you may be subject to removal or CIVIL penalty, not Criminal penalty, for carrying.. I missed that part previously.
    Interesting

    Fair enough. I knew it was IAC, and thought that was as much law as was the IC. Still, detention and imposition of civil penalties sounds like somewhere I don't want to go.

    Do you have a link to this waiver? Or any other info about it?

    I have a PDF that the agent sent me in an email. When asked how someone could find it online, he looked on the IN.gov and couldn't find it.
    He also gave me an email for the person I would need to talk to about finding it listed someplace.
    If you want a copy today sent me a PM with your email. I will try to post it later after work.

    What possible civil penalties could they apply? If I understand correctly you can not be charged with any crime if caught possessing a firearm in a casino? So you are g2g if you conceal and dont get caught?

    What is the probable response from LE if they discover, an armed person, in a place where by law they should be unarmed? Should they assume the person is just trying to circumvent the law, and is not really a threat?

    And civil penalties, could potentially include, losing your LTCH. You willing to risk that to pay the idiot tax?
