For trespass...no, unless you refuse to leave when asked while the officer is there. Now you could be arrested for PI depending on how intoxicated you are and if you are making an arse of yourself.
I second that, they didn't stand there and tell you to take off at the door.
Was I drinking with SE?
If I had a dime for every time I've heard this.all kidding aside i would hope they would arrest me, cause i would be getting rich $$$$$$$$$$

YES. You can be arrested INSIDE the bar for PI. Any business open/or accessible to the public meets the definition. Residential (house/apartment) is the exception. If you are at a house/apartment that is either yours or you are there with permission, you cannot be arrested for PI.Also, about the PI charge, can they really arrest you for PI cause you walked out the bar to get in or wait for a ride FROM the bar? Technically, if you're on their sidewalk/parking lot you're still AT the bar. Right? If the owner says off his property, and you're not being beligerant to the officers, surely the officers could "hold you" until your ride shows up, right?
I think you will be in trouble for trespassing.
IC 35-43-2-2
Sec. 2. (a) A person who:
(1) not having a contractual interest in the property, knowingly or intentionally enters the real property of another person after having been denied entry by the other person or that person's agent;
commits criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor.
The question here is only whether you have "been denied entry by the other person or that person's agent." Luckily for us, "denied entry" is defined just below that:
(b) A person has been denied entry under subdivision (a)(1) of this section when the person has been denied entry by means of:
(1) personal communication, oral or written;
(2) posting or exhibiting a notice at the main entrance in a manner that is either prescribed by law or likely to come to the attention of the public; or
(3) a hearing authority or court order
You've been informed by a "notice at the main entrance in a manner that is likely to come to the attention of the public" that you are not allowed to enter while carrying. This section says nothing about that notice having to specifically name you.
From these sections, I vote, yes, you are in trouble for trespassing.
You folks raise a great question about Public Intoxication - so let's take that out of the equation. The only issue is: are you going to jail on a charge related to your possession of a firearm?
