I know the law has changed on the carry of firearms in State Parks but what about City Parks? I often bike, kayak and hike in Eagle Creek. I also frequent the Monon Trail. I'm wondering about the laws covering these areas and other "city" land. [Military Park, The Canal...etc]
Sec. 103-3. General penalties for violations of Code.
(a) Whenever in any chapter, article, division or section of this Code, or of any ordinances amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto, the doing of any act, or the omission to do any act or to perform any duty, is declared to be a violation of this Code, or of any such amendatory or supplemental ordinance, or of any provision thereof, or is declared to be unlawful, and if there shall be no fine or penalty otherwise specifically prescribed or declared for any such violation, or for doing or for omitting to do any such act or to perform any such duty, any person who shall be convicted of any such violation, or of doing or of omitting to do any such act or to perform any such duty shall be fined, by way of a penalty therefor, not more than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) for each such violation, act or omission.
(b) In addition to the foregoing penalty, the city may enjoin or abate any violation of this Code by appropriate action.
If it's owned or administered by Indy Parks (Monon trail is) it's off limits.This ban also applies to the linear parks (Monon Trail, etc.), correct?
The way I see it is no one should know I'm carrying unless I need it. At that point, even if I get the infraction, it is better than beaten or killed. Not that I would advocate breaking stupid and unjust laws.
I thought I read in another post, that the victim zone also includes any water ways that are used by the Indianapolis Water Company. <start edit> It is actually a reservoir or property owned by the Indianapolis Water Works.<end edit>
I thought this was a very odd clause because isn't the Water Company a private company in Indy? This would be like having a city ordinance saying that you can't carry in a department store?
I will see if I can find the MC law.
Nothing on Wabash, eh? Good!

If you all are really bothered by this I would suggest putting ink to paper and letting the proper people know about it. Here is a INGO member looking to do something about it. Could use all our help.

Instead, they just announced they will be installing additional cameras along the Monon Trail (in the name of our safety of course).
