Does this sign carry any weight under Indiana Law...

[femurphy77]

I think he's more concerned about the no weapons sign.

What no weapons sign?

What no weapons sign?

Top sign in the OP...

Unless they treat prisoners then it has the weight of law I believe. Otherwise they can tell you to leave and if you don't it's trespassing.

I thought I read about the whole hospital treating prisoners thing thee other day. I need some education; carrying in hospitals that treat prisoners is prohibited by law, correct? If so, how do we tell if a hospital treats prisoners just based on the signage, or is it best practice to just look it up? Thanks in advance; I really don't know.

Anymore I just don't carry in a hospital. Like you said you can't tell. I was at my Dr office and the sheriff brought in a prisoner to be treated. So now I know nor to carry there.

Whats the old saying..."I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6", or "asking forgiveness is better than asking for permission",
blah blah blah etc etc etc

This might be a good time to remind everyone that such signs do carry the force of law in our neighboring state to the east (of which I am a recent refugee).

I don't believe this is the case. I think it only applies to facilities that have a ward for securing patients. Not just any Dr.s office.

Can someone find the Indiana law, and post it for this discussion? It would be nice to see what it actually says.

The other funny thing about signs not relating to weapons but in general is that sometimes they're not exercised until there's cause and then at least the facility can point to the sign as proof they advised of the policy. This comes in to play frequently for me as a trucker because no parking signs are often like this. I specifically went to an official representative (not necessarily law enforcement but state employed agent of the facility) to address the signs which limited parking to 2 hours and no overnight parking in the state's highway rest areas. He said they post the signs so they have grounds to expel anyone violating other rules and specifically they had problems with RVers or caravaners (a kinder term for homeless-living-in-an-old-RV) setting up camp for days/weeks and/or turning the parking lot into a mobile flea market. But truckers require safe haven parking for federally mandated 10 hour breaks and no one will be bothering them for staying past 2 hours. So I can see where in the case of the no weapons signs someone could probably skate by and never have an issue but the first time there's an incident at the facility they'll have the defense that the sign was prominently displayed which absolves them of liability... Just like Gun Free School Zone signs!

When confronted with that sign, what would @BigRed do?



Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Years ago, I had a problem with a metal detector at the Statehouse.
Never thought about the knife that's been in my pocket EVERY day.

I was mad has hell having to walk back to the parking garage.

You should have used the old "Don't you know who I am?" ploy!
