Anywhere that is associated with k-12 and headstart (school, ball fields while schools are playing there, a church with headstart/preschool)
Post Office
PoPo station
pretty much every government building

And casinos and some local government controlled parks.

All corp of engineer lakes and property you are not legal. It's federal land.

I also heard shopping malls.

Is there anywhere left to go with concealed carry?! Ah Yes, my own home is still on the approved list!!

Shopping malls are legal to carry in. They may have a sign up, but the signs hold no weight of law in Indiana. They can simply ask you to leave, and if you refuse, you may face a trespassing charge.

I bought an excellent book at the Indy 1500 a while back that did a good job detailing the laws in Indiana. I need to get back there and buy the 2010 version to see what has changed.

That would be Bryan Lee Ciyou's book and it's an excellent resource. I'm not aware that there's a third edition out yet, although I've heard rumours that he's working on one. The 2nd Ed. is 2007.

Federal laws restricting on fed land have recently changed, state parks and federal parks now i believe are a go. if you are passing though a school property according to currect IC code laws you are also ok.

Correct on state and federal parks, fed as of this morning , but for schools pretty much if you are operating a vehicle and dropping off or picking someone up. And by operating they mean sitting in the drivers seat. Not just passing through.

In Indiana, State Parks have been LEGAL since the beginning.

But beginning this morning, NATIONAL parks are now able to reflect the hosting state's carry laws.

IE: A national park in Indiana (Indiana Dunes), we can now carry as Indiana allows it.

IF there were a national park in Illinois, we would NOT be able to carry because Illinois doesn't let ANYONE carry*

*Unless you're a current or retired LEO carrying under LEOSA...but even then there are restrictions.

Another example: Massachusetts allows the carry of handguns, but they do NOT recognize any other state's permit/license. So, MA residents would be able to carry legally in any kind of national park that's in MA, but us Hoosiers could not...because we're not allowed to carry at all in MA.

Also: Keep in mind that there's a big difference between a National Park and a National Forest.... National Forests have been "good to go" for a while now.

Correct on other states have different rules and Fed parks follow the states rules. But slightly incorrect on IN state parks. There was for a while regulations that firearms and bows had to be unloaded and cased unless being used for lawful hunting or target shooting. This was changed I think about two ago, I can't remember when the restrictions went into effect. This was not done under Indiana code, but under Indiana administrative code iirc.

Also one more caveat on the Fed parks, some of the buildings are still considered Fed buildings and firearms are not allowed. Except under leosa and such. I can't find the cite at the moment, but basically any building that was used for "habitation" ranger stations, offices, recreation/education buildings etc., but ones like outhouses and such are not.

if retired cops can get national carry permits then retired military should too!

 

[SKSnut]

Actually, it was a DNR administrative RULE that prohibited the carry of weapons in State Parks, etc. It wasn't ever State LAW. This administrative rule was rescinded 3-4 years ago to bring these state properties in line with the rest of Indiana as a whole.

And yes, concerning the National Parks... Chances are that, aside from the public restrooms, that firearms are still verboten. Nature center? Better find a place to lock it up or pray pray pray that you're not discovered.

Also, to be clear.

The new National Park carry law still doesn't affect the carrying of weapons on CoE lands. Unless someone has new information it is still not legal to carry there.

Since when are we not allowed to carry in police stations? Did I miss something?

In short, that depends upon the locale the police station is in.
