A country club is not a school, but would this be considered a "school function"? Is the school paying for it? Is the property rented in the name of the school?
I seriously don't know the answer here, but those I think would be relevant questions.

The parent booster committee appears to be a school committee, so this would be a school function.
Yep, it is listed on their team events (about 1/2 way through this document):

A school event, yes. The school may prefer that you do not carry.
On school grounds? Well no, so most likely it is not illegal. Contingent of course on the country club and their position on firearms. If the country club does not allow, well you know what that means.
Either way, likely you are not going to open carry, right?
Make sure it is well concealed and stays that way.
If nobody knows that you have it, no harm no foul.

IC 35-47-9-2
Possession of firearms on school property, at school function, or on school bus; felony

(1) in or on school property;
(2) in or on property that is being used by a school for a school function; or
(3) on a school bus;
commits a Class D felony.
^^^And that's a wrap.
Might we suggest you take a class called Comphrensive Indiana Firearm Law hosted by Atty Guy R. more info here:
Tactical Firearms Training LLC - Training
as you just have the OP some rea bad advise of committing a felony!
See info below.
Correct in it of it self no.
However if say the local high school decided to hold their prom at the college gym bldg then per IC the college gym bldg has become a GFZ as it is now a school function.
I know you got a correct answer HobbyGuy..
But, nothing like a roaming Gun Free Zone to make you a potential felon.
Indiana Code, Fail.
Oh so true no mind you the roaming GFZ has yet to be put to the test in a court of law and the legal experts are on the fence on it. There was talk or a bill to fix this and make it mean just for "students/teachers/shcool personel" at a school function OUTSIDE the school but I don't know what became of that text/bill.
Bill of Rights I think would know.

Don't be so hard on him. The law is poorly worded and defies both the logical and reasonable standard. What if the speech and debate club decides to hold an awards dinner at the local Olive Garden?
Again it's a gray area. The rolling GFZ has NOT been tested.
If you (as general public jane doe) go to Olive Garden with your boyfriend and happen to see the hs debate club there doing their award ceremony are you really part of that school function? Not really but some DA with her panties in a bunch can make the case that it's a felony. Will it stick. Hum... Who know as there is no case law.
You make the assumption that a booster group and the school are one and the same.
Most booster groups are separate non-profits created to support a specific school program. Was informed recently that donations made directly to a school (public) are not tax-deductible. That is where PTO and booster clubs come in.
So the question becomes "Is it really the school or the booster club renting the facility?"
That will determine the legality of carrying.
None of this includes whether the OP is a member of the Country Club and may have an interest in e club.

Is it only the gym or all the property
Who wants to be a test case?Is it only the gym or all the property
all the property
https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...self_defense/76519-where_does_school_end.html
And here is an even more complicated one in which we have a public set of bldgs and one of those bldg has a PRIVATE day-care center that rents its space from the city.
https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...defense/203180-hammond_loses.html#post2832292
In that case the public set of bldgs is ok except for the day care center area.
Not a "school committee"

It was a rhetorical question. I'm betting we don't have case law because there isn't a prosecutor who wants to take it to court.
Ops sry I'm running a fever, my nose is stuffed and I've just taken more night quill so my brain is getting foggy. As for your post more like no da in indy, nwi or bloomington who has found a case yet. The case will come unless we get the law changed.
I believe the booster club is a separate entity than the school. However if the swim club (it was swimming right?) is cosponsoring the event or something, it might technically be a "school function". But if its just the booster club doing it completely separate of the school or swim club, then it wouldn't be.
Definitely an interesting case. I think we could easily prove the booster is a completely separate legal entity. They are their own organization with their own EID. However what level of involvement/cooperation with the school team would make it considered a school function?
