Just try getting past the metal detectors and the armed security (Capitol Police? Federal Marshals? )

SO DO NOT TAKE YOUR FIREARM & DO NOT EVEN LEAVE YOUR FIREARM IN YOUR CAR IF YOU PARK THE CAR ON FEDERAL PROPERTY AS IT IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE.

In most stand alone social security offices there is NO metal detectors and the security guard is a contractor (ie. NOT a federal employee).

I assume that goes for the post office too? Wow.
You know, you're quite right. I had a bout of "geocentricity" and, wrongly, presumed that he was going to the SSA in downtown Indy...which is in a Federal building... Which has metal detectors and armed folks staffing it.

So...what are you to do with your gun?Social Security Offices are FEDERAL BUILDINGS and as such DO NOT follow state laws (ie. Indiana in your case) but FEDERAL laws. Title 18 United States Code, Section 930 PROHIBITES firearms and weapons in all federal buildings by non-authorized people (ie. not federal law enforcement personnel).
The text of the law can be found here:
United States Code: Title 18,930. Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities | LII / Legal Information Institute
