Local Prohibition of Firearms

Ended up "duplicating" my post.

Bart? Sid? Sorry, I am out of the loop on this one.

Sorry. My bad. Typo. BLART, not Bart, the M"Mall Cop" guy....

FYI.....Lieber rec area is part of the ACOE. There's a sign as you enter to pay.

According to the website, only the dam and tailwaters are controlled by the ACOE. The park is controlled by DNR. The maps on the ACOE website show the borders far beyond the reservoir that even contains a pretty good stretch of the state highway. I don't recall anything on the entrance sign about the ACOE.

Well, Bart McAllister did work mall security at one point, along with Sid Gurney. Thus, my confusion.

Bart McAllister & Sid Gurney are characters on Q95's Bob and Tom Show.

I took this yesterday. It's at the Indiana State Museum in downtown Indy. On the entrance into the museum from the level 2 parking garage, I didn't check any others. I verified that the individuals working there are state employees and to the best of my knowledge that's a state owned facility. I've got the contact information for the operations manager, I'm planning to write a note to him.

My apologies for the blur, the bottom line of text says "State of Indiana" then it shows the state seal.

FYI: Preemption affects LOCAL jurisdictions from making rules, policies and ordinances that supersede state law.

 

[eldirector]

Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites DO CURRENTLY have a policy against carrying on their "properties". This is in the State Administrative Code, and not covered by "preemption", as they are STATE offices, not local government.

BTW: here is the list of State Historic Sites:
Explore

They ALL have this same policy.

Bummer. They're limited to asking you to leave though correct?

Hartsville, IN still has a sign up stating no firearms on the town square. Been trying to find contact info to send them a letter, but no dice yet.

I noticed South Bend has "No Firearms allowed" on the rules sign at Potowatomi park, outside the zoo.

Sounds like a good place to OC

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

I would if I ever had a reason to go there.

Road trip.

Funny how places say they don't have the money to replace or change signs with the "no guns allowed" on them, yet they have the money to waste on other crap .

Where did all the money come from to put up the signs in the first place?

 

[actaeon277]

Our pockets.

 

[HoughMade]

Our pockets.

Well, yeah, but that's not the point.

Governments always manage to find the money to do what they want to do. They cry poor when they don't want to do something.

 

[Expat]

It would probably be considered vandalism if someone helped take them down...

I went to the court that Guy Relford argued against the city of Hammond about their "no guns" signs.
I thought he won.
Then came the judges decision that, as long as they don't enforce it... and people should know the law, no matter the sign.

I was stunned.


And yes, I agree, they have the money, when they want.
