would the unlicensed part not pretty much trump anything like...... well laws?
search under licensed day cares states "use or possession" is prohibited. They must be secured and inaccessible to children.
I would say no, since it would be in your "possession."So is on ones person in a holster considered secured and inaccessible?
Does it matter if they are licensed or not? From this definition it looks like any preschool or daycare is considered a school by Indiana law.

The other question is, would her clients be upset when little Billy says he saw a big gun?
I think thats what worries me the most. Than little Billy's mom informs some type of authority and my mom gets in trouble. It only takes one person to ruin it for everyone else.
When we had our in home daycare, the state only required that guns be locked in a gun cabinet and ammo be stored in a seperate place. Its much the same with our foster licence. you might run into a parent that does not care for guns, explain to them their are other providers, and they may find them more to their liking.
The only problem we ever had was one child told his mom he helped me reload ( sort brass) she thought he was handling guns, after she talked to us she was fine with the activity noting sorting brass is good for fine motor skills and hand eye coridination.
