Okay, since I was thinking about this earlier today and it just happens to fall in the same type of category. I assume I know the answer, but I would still like to see other opinions.
Would a church be off limits everyday if they had a daycare on the property? Let's say it's called a daycare although it's nothing more than a babysitting service due to lack of credentials to show it is truly a daycare?
This part seems to stand out:
(B) an entity that is required to be licensed under IC 12-17.2 or IC 31-27;
12-17.2 deals with "Child care programs" and 31-27 deals with "child services"
However, this seems interesting:
Does this exempt the licensing requirement? If it does, it may not be considered school property.IC 31-27-2-7
Child caring institutions and group homes operated by churches and religious ministries Sec. 7. (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), the department shall exempt from licensure a child caring institution and a group home operated by a church or religious ministry that is a religious organization exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (as defined in IC 6-3-1-11) and that does not:
(1) accept for care:
(A) a child who is a delinquent child under IC 31-37-1-1 or IC 31-37-2-1; or
(B) a child who is a child in need of services under IC 31-34-1-1 through IC 31-34-1-9; or
(2) operate a residential facility that provides child care on a twenty-four (24) hour basis for profit. (b) The department shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to govern the inspection of a child caring institution and a group home operated by a church or religious ministry with regard to sanitation.
(c) The fire prevention and building safety commission shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to govern the inspection of a child caring institution and a group home operated by a church or religious ministry under this section. The rules must provide standards for fire alarms and fire drills.
(d) A child caring institution and a group home operated by a church or religious ministry under this section shall comply with the rules established by the department and the fire prevention and building safety commission under this section.
As added by P.L.145-2006, SEC.273.
However, there is also this:
Not sure if that would be covered under that.(D) a federal, state, local, or nonprofit program or service operated to serve, assist, or otherwise benefit children who are at least three (3) years of age and not yet enrolled in kindergarten, including the following:
(i) A Head Start program under 42 U.S.C. 9831 et seq.
(ii) A special education preschool program.
(iii) A developmental child care program for preschool children.
I would see if they have a license from the state. If they do, it's a definite NO. But if not, it seems that it would be OK, unless that "D" part above applies to them. IANAL though.
You don't need to carry anyways. It will be safer because it is a gun free zone.
