Can I carry at a peaceable gathering in Indiana?

[Wine Country]

Just wondering if there were any restrictions on mixing the First Amendment with the Second?

As long as you have an LTCH and it's not in a restricted area then I don't see why not.

 

[Wine Country]

Thanks. And a follow up: If it's a gathering in a public place, no one can tell me to leave right?

What kind of gathering? Why dont you give more details?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Wine, did you just move here from Georgia?

(Some states have restrictions on carrying at public meetings).

If it's in a public setting, you cannot be asked o leave. If the police confront you and remove you, you are able to get damages as long as damages could be proven.

If its on private property, you can be asked to leave by the owner or person in charge--for almost any reason.

A public place can sometimes be private if the event space is rented, for example a gun show at a city/county owned building or property.

Also, You only a need a LTCH if you are carrying a handgun. For a long arm, there is no license needed (or issued).

For example at a tea party rally 2 years ago valpo PD asked for my LTCH and another persons over our openly carried handguns. None of them asked the AR carriers for one

The only restriction would be the new restriction on open carrying at a public meeting for a county council or city council meeting that was included in the new preemption bill (SB292).
