What could he have been arrested for?
Brandishing a weapon in public
If my understanding of Indiana law is correct, you should not have been carrying in a bar if you were consuming alcohol... snip
No such Indiana law I've ever seen, re:carrying while drinking. It's a horrible idea, IMHO, but it's not illegal... snip
First, I can't believe I read all the way to page 16 before this was brought up. Bars are off limits to carry. You're not even supposed to be in the bar area of a restaurant.
No carry in a bar, period. Can go into a restaurant that serves alcohol. But you're supposed to stay out of the bar area.
If I'm mistaken, my apologies now. But I do remember researching this in detail a while back.

Welcome to ingo.
You need to do more research because you're completely wrong about bars being off limits.
Thanks for the welcome.
I'm on the hunt... been looking for the info after I read the rest of the thread (after my post) when others stated it was legal. I was looking for the info a couple years ago... specifically to include Pubs that serve alcohol.
Normally, I'm 'not so quick' to post something I'm not sure on... but the details seem so clear. I just can't seem to find what I remember reading.
(nothing like posting inaccurate info for my first post)

You might be thinking of another state.
Before making a comment like that, you might want to have the proof ready.
INGO is a "show me" type of place.
Telling the police "I heard it on the internet" doesn't hold up well.
Welcome to the forum Sig.
Whatever I was reading, it included Pubs in the mix?
I'm going to check and see if it might be a local thing. I just can't put my finger on it right at the moment.
Brandishing a weapon in public
Could you show us brandishing in the Indiana Code?
Thanks for the welcome.
I'm not thinking of another state... never lived anywhere else. I also don't just believe everything I read on the internet. I normally research it to be sure. I don't drink, so the bars are not a big concern to me, as I don't go in them. However, I was checking on this as I do visit restaurants that serve alcohol and sometimes go into Pubs.

You may be thinking of this http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/indiana.pdf that was posted earlier in the thread. It is from "Handgunlaw.US" and does not reference IC only recommends not going into a bar with a handgun. In this article they suggest that restaurants that serve alcohol, such as Chili's, Applebee's is ok. If you ask me, these "law" websites should refrain from printing opinion and stick to factual law.
Yes they can ban you.
Its called Trespass.
Their property, their rules.
Generally speaking, never unholster a weapon in a public place. Bad form, good way to get tossed out.
If anything, be happy they didn't call the police and request you be formally 'trespassed' off the property. Doing that would legally ban you from the property. They did you a favor, said stay away for the rest of the year. What you did was pretty silly.
