State Museum Signs

[abnk]

Went there a couple of weeks ago. The signs posted on the door read something like "Absolutely no weapons of any kind in the state museum." Has anyone had problems with weapons at the state museum? Is the museum part of the state park? Whose jurisdiction does it fall under?

I cc 'd at the Imax in the museum a couple times with no trouble. Didn't see signs (i didn't look). The museums were under DNR as the parks but I think that has recently changed.

Martial Arts experts please leave your hands and feet in your automobile before entering the building....

The state museum and most state owned buildings in the downtown area are covered by the indiana state police, Capitol police section. As far as the signs are concerned I think u would just be asked to leave but I cannot say for certain. That being said I would tread lightly since ISP can revoke ur ltch.

With the new laws can the museum still ban the carrying of firearms on the premises?

No court room, OK to carry.

Would this mean that Marines cannot enter?

Be careful there.

The new laws only cover LOCAL ordinances not any STATE laws or rules.

If the STATE museum is STATE administered then the rules likely haven't been affected. You need to find out if they are state or privately run & then if they are state run then whose jurisdiction they fall under for their rule making authority.

I would kind of doubt it would be DNR but I could be wrong. If it is DNR then carry there should be legal.

If it's private then those signs (arguably ) hold no legal weight.

ETA:

From looking at their website it SEEMS that they are a private non-profit foundation partially funded by the state.
