APD probing Shadyside robberies » Cops, courts and fires » The Herald Bulletin

Nice to know our parks department is allowing us to carry in these parks now!

Even though they are refusing to change any signs that say NO WEAPONS/FIREARMS ALLOWED!

Be ready to defend yourself at ALL TIMES! Be aware of who is behind you, approaching you and or asking for $.

 

[Glock]

Well that park is kinda on the shady side.

 

[AndersonIN]

I see what ya did there! I get it!

 

[mrortega]

Four different perps? That is unusual. The word must be out in Thugville that the park is easy pickins. Sounds like Ortega and Frosty need to do a trail bike ride up there.

Dang, beat me to it...

Yeah, my sons class cancelled a trip there because of this. I offered to go with them but they didn't bite. So, who is up for a trail ride/walk this weekend?

 

[Gowest1995]

I'm in! My family loves this park and I don't care anymore if my shirt tail rides up a little!

If they had gone and you had been with them and carrying you would likely have been committing a felony (having a gun at a school event.)

What if the kids showed up and you happened to be there fishing, eating lunch, jogging or whatever?

I don't think anybody can answer that conclusively because there hasn't been a test case. It might depend on where in the park you are and where the "school group" is. Are they across the park or do they plop down next to you and start fishing?

What if a school bus full of school athletes and cheerleaders stops at the McDonalds i'm at, do I have to run for the hills? Does the McDonalds now become a defacto school function?

No mayo, please ....

Not if they hired me or gave permission to escort them as security.

Outside of that, I haven't seen anything to indicate that a field trip to a public place constitutes a school even and therefore the property would be off limits to firearms.

There is no case law, but the way the law reads if you are eating at Wendys and a bus pulls up, you are in trouble.

The Wendys isn't being used for a school event.

With respect to the park question, the property isn't being used for a school function, only part of it is. But who knows what the police and prosecutor there would do, and whether the court would agree with them or not.

Another reason to pay attention to judicial elections locally, and judicial retention statewide.

Wendys could be for lunch or learn how to say "do you want fries with that" & the law doesn't say anything about parts of places.

THERE IS NO CASE LAW. so who knows what would happen.

So, what keeps us all from writing Indy and telling them to amend this to be more clear? In our favor, of course.

That could also be construed to say if a school bus is on the same road you are on, you better not have a gun with you. It also isn't clear about what happens if the school bus is being contracted for a non-school function, like the shuttles at the free event held at Fort Harrison last month.

I would say that unless the class is on a field trip to Wendy's it isn't a school function. But, if you are at the park and a class comes out, that could be an issue for a stupid DA that can't find anything better to do.
