I already boycott the Colts. Guess this adds fuel to the fire. I cant support a team that sucks money from taxpayers to pay for a new stadium, screwed thousands out of jobs when they left Baltimore in the middle of the night and forces everyone that comes to Indy to support their cause through specialty taxes. No thanks.

Sure, but I have a feeling there will be a whole lot of crickets in this thread. I saw this article yesterday at work. I believe it was in Saturday's paper. The TSA restaurant thread reminded me of it.

Is there going to be an OC event? I am down for that!

Whta are you boycotting?

Whta are you boycotting?

A lot of INGO'ers boycott businesses with no guns signs so I thought they might want to add the Colts to their list. The Colts are fighting to keep their gun ban at Lucas Oil Stadium.

------------------

I'm seeing an INGO event of epic proportions here. We can invite all gun owning Colts fans. Everyone can bring their colts gear and memorabilia for the bonfire to roast weenies and marshmallows on. They can line up all their Colts fatheads up for the shoot.

But somehow, I think most gun owning Colts fans are willing to make an exception for their beloved entertainment.

That's cool with me, Lucas Oil Stadium is too crowded on game day anyway. You show 'em!

Sometimes, I think people just like to believe the most controversial thing possible to spice up their life. Nothing in the bill prohibits a property owner from restricting firearms on their property.

It clearly states in section D "(d) This section may be not construed:
18 (1) to prohibit a person who owns, leases, rents, or otherwise
19 legally controls private property from regulating or
20 prohibiting the possession of firearms on the private
21 property;

All it does is allow you to take your pistol to target practice without having to apply for a license. AS LONG AS, the place you want to target practice says it's ok.

That's SB 506 you're thinking of at the end there... SB 292 is preemption, preventing, say, Indy from disallowing carry in public parks or public buildings that do not contain courtrooms (with a few exceptions) SB 506 addresses transportation without a license.

Blessings,

For me, the main issue with LOS banning guns is that I'm paying for that building and I've NEVER stepped foot in. I don't OC but I could be down with this one.

My exact thoughts...

Thanks for the clarification. Didn't know there were multiple bills floating around.

My exact thoughts...

like I've said in a different thread on LOS and their gun ban...IF it's a private building (like a store is for example), they have the right to ban my gun. And I have the right to not spend my money there. However, in this case, my right to choose where to spend my money was made for me. No, I don't mind paying taxes...but not for this.

So LOS is a public owned bldg? Does all of IN pay a tax for this stadium?

The way I understand it, Marion County and the counties surrounding are the ones that paid for the building.

The taxpayers of these counties

 

[redneckmedic]

Tax payers didn't pay for the building.... folks who buy soda and food at restaurants bought the building. Not to mention the huge city profits that come from it also.

BTW, I love the post office and our local PD, and I'm not boycotting them either.

 

[jedi]

So it's a public bldg then?
*sigh* ya got screwed nicely then. Those indy reps must have learned a few trips from those in NWI. ;]

Sounds just like another reason to not go to a Colts game to me...
