Its my understanding that casinos are lawful GFZs. The good news is casinos are setup for this. They have the procedures in place for you to check your firearm at the door and have it secured while you are on the property.Taking the wife up to the Horseshoe Casino to see Jeff Dunham here in a few days.
Anyone been there can tell me what kind of set up they have checking people out when they come in?
IANAL Shouldn't be arrested, there is no arrest clause for carrying in a casino. It's an administrative rule. Here it is.Its my understanding that casinos are lawful GFZs.

I wouldnt try to by pass this as you wont be escorted out, but arrested.
No problem. It's been discussed a few times on here. And I found the thread with the letter from the Gaming commission. Since they no longer have to sail, they no longer have to have lock boxes since you can just take it to your car...Thanks for the correction.
I know that, and you know that, and everyone else knows that. But this is INGO, do you expect it to stay at that? I'm surprised it hasn't already devolved into which casino buffet has the best bacon and/or which has the abomination known as pineapple pizza. Speaking of which...I was just wanting to know a head of time to avoid having to walk back to the vehicle...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you have a cite for that? Best I can find if you are licensed to carry it's okay. Perhaps not in the casino but on tribal lands. 4 Winds is Pokagon tribe if I'm right. Here is a link to the code. It starts at the bottom of pg 54 of the pdf.FYI. If you venture over to 4 Winds in South Bend or New Buffalo it is Native American owned. Firearms are not even allowed on the property.
I can find the info that was published when the casino opened in South Bend. It was a big deal in the news around here.I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you have a cite for that?

Thanks much for the link. A few things, tribal criminal law doesn't apply to non Indians except for a few very limited circumstances such as dating/domestic violence when one of the parties is a tribal member and it occurs on tribal land. And tribal civil law has quite a few limitations as well when applied to non Indians. The one problem is you have to fight civil jurisdictional challenges in tribal courts first, if you lose you can then take it to state/federal court. They do have more authority/jurisdiction over non member Indians but still not as much as member Indians.Here's the thread about it.
Tribal Casino carry laws
Four Winds Casino opens in South Bend today. It's a true Tribal Casino, the first in Indiana as far as I know. How do I go about finding out about if I can carry there and all applicable laws I need to follow. I've checked their website and found nothing.www.indianagunowners.com
We must keep in mind that carrying a firearm into a Casino is against the Indiana Code; though I do believe it's the Indiana Administrative Code vs. criminal code. i'm not a lawyer. don't quote me on that.I don't believe that there are any metal detectors at the entrance to the Horseshoe Casino. GFZ's obviously are a high risk area, but casino's have a pretty safe track record other than the occasional smash and grab.
