WorkOne Reach Center

Next Tuesday I have a test for a potential job at the Subaru plant in Lafayette. The test is at the WorkOne facility off of 26. I'm just double checking to make sure it is ok to carry there.

I've bee to a couple of the WorkOne centers several years ago. I wouldn't go there unarmed!

I don't know about the Lafayette one but Kokomo and Plymouth both have no gun signs and armed guards. That was in Feb. The last time I was at one. If you decide to keep it covered up that's what I did.

There is a No weapons sign on the door, and an armed guard right inside. I wouldn't do it.

Is work one a state office?

 

[Fixer]

Both Ft. Wayne and Auburn Work-One centers have a no gun sigh and armed guards. I do not know if it is illegal to carry or just there policy. It is a state run agency.

I think there's another thread with this same topic somewhere in the vast resources of INGO but I can't find it.

I work near the work one office on the east side of Indy which has a drug test lab and probation offices in the same building. I wouldn't go there unarmed but I don't know for sure if it's legal or not. Some of the people that get the "opportunity" to go to those offices are something else.

I got cornered by 2 YES TWO BOTH DUELING DUH DOS 2 of the Work One Gestapo gonads. Nope not for my pistol I left it in the truck. Manfred Von Beotch spied the picket clip on my Cold Steel Voyager as I was on the way out. I was told my keys hid the pocket clip. I explained to Manfred that it wasn't a knife it was a tool ( not unlike him ) hung my head in shame and gimped with cane in hand back to the truck.

It is not illegal to carry into a Work One office. It is against policy. 35-47-11.1 only applies to local restrictions. Because the Dept. of Workforce Development is a state agency, they're not covered by 11.1. They can, and will, ask you to leave if found. The guards are not police, they are hired security and have no arrest or law enforcement powers. They are there to provide someone to shoot back if someone starts shooting first. They are only covered by the IC for self defense/defense of others just like ordinary citizens.

They have no right under 35-47 to restrict carry.

Unless someone can show a law against carrying in a state office then there is no law.

I tried for almost a year to find a job through Gary work one, do you really think that I went there unarmed?

 

[BillRocker]

No weapons of any kind. I read the (very poorly written) WorkOne weapons policy last week.

 

[ChalupaCabras]

My nearest Work One has a no carry sign posted.

I contacted my State Senator regarding the sign @ a location in Indy & was told that they could post & prohibit since they were a sort-of-combo state-private company. I carry anyway. Being poor & unemployed does not make ones life worth any less worth protecting. They have taken & held my knife on an occasion or 2, as well (but not my gun ).

DWD is a state agency, but from my understanding WorkOne is a private company that is contracted by the state to handle some of their duties. Since they are a private company and the buildings/property are owned/rented by them they can make their own rules.

Yep, see above.
