Carrying at IU Med Center?

[MedicMike]

I will be at IU Med center in the next few days and was wondering about carring while there. I know there is signs posted and they general carry no merit in Indiana. However not sure about downtown Indy other than parks and goverment buildings.

Thanks in advance.

Well as a student of the lovely *cough* liberal school Indiana University, if you consider the IU Med Center as a part of an IU campus, they don't like it.

But I'm sure someone else has a better answer.

Yes there are signs outside the hospital which do not carry the force of law in Indiana.

Know that it is on the campus of IUPUI. IN code says no guns on "school property" but it refers to post secondary institutions (colleges, universities) as "institutions of higher learning." I have yet to come across in IN code what constitutes a "school" other than being owned by a school district or something vague which could be construed however they want it to be.

You may want to make an anonymous call to the hospitals security. They are most likely well versed in their firearms procedures as I'm sure they come across them from patients coming in with them. IUPUI police will let you lock up your gun at their police station, but that is a block away from the hospital. Also, IUPUI police does NOT serve the hospitals, they have their own police force/security/whatever.

I don't know what you are going for, but know that concealed doesn't necessarily stay concealed in a hospital setting. (disrobing, MRI, etc). Some hospital staff are probably aware of applicable laws but I would guess that most are not.

Not illegal...

Against their rules, almost certainly.

Conceal it and act normal.

I'm not have any procedure's done, taking the better half for some. I wll just cc and not worry about it. Thanks

Yup, no need to worry about it unless you actually work for IU.

I attend the Neurology Clinic at IU Hospital. Believe me, they (security) don't like the sight of a firearm. I CC there, and my Neuro doc is cool with it, as he has his own LTCH. BTW, it is my understanding that Indy Parks is not allowed.

Just got back for IU Med center, no problems at all. Kept it covered my family didn't even know I was carrying until we just got home. Thanks guys.

I always carry while at Riley. If I am staying the night I take my GunVault Microvault with me. Usually I stay until late in the evening and my wife spends the night. I sure as heck won't walk around those garages at night without one.
