Is IU hospital in Indy a gun free zone?

[BrewerGeorge]

DEFINITELY. NO GUNS IN VA. That's a big NO NO if ever was one.

I still shudder when I think of the dozens of times I was in the wrong there before I realized this. For a while after getting out of the Navy, Roudenbush was my primary care provider. Dozens of times...

It wasn't until I came to INGO that I realized that the Federal prohibition was effective there, so thanks for that, INGO!

It's actually quite easy. Learn the few places where carrying a gun is illegal in Indiana. If it isn't one of those places, it isn't illegal. If you don't want to be asked to leave, don't let your gun be seen.

I think his point is that there is no quick reference on what places are legally off limits. The average gun owner doesn't know the location of every daycare, schoolhouse, courtroom, jail cell, legally off limit GFZ nor is this information easily found. Making accidental felons is all most of the legal GFZs are good for.

I was at IU West for a blood draw yesterday and I intentionally looked for a sign. Saw none anywhere.

There is a sign posted at the ER entrance on the east side right next to the security office.

I had to take a friend to the ER while we were in INDY for the weekend a couple weeks back and in order to get into the ER you had to pass through a metal detector in order to get into the building. Can't tell you what the rest of the place is like, but the ER is definately a no go....

Which hospital? I don't know of any with metal detectors. They would be going off non-stop, just from the ladies' purses.

Now, RFID detectors, I can believe. Hospitals tag EVERYTHING that has any value.

I work for IU Health and Methodist Hospital in downtown Indy has metal detectors at the ED entrance. University Hospital doesn't have an ED any more, it was consolidated into the Level 1 Trauma Center at Methodist. Not sure about Riley's ED and I haven't seen them in the suburban hospitals yet.

*ding ding* winner! It was IU Methodist downtown.

I am not a lawyer... but, as I understand it, there is nothing illegal about carrying at IU Health - IU Hospital in Indy. You will most certainly be asked to leave if someone sees a gun, but there is nothing illegal about it.

If you know your way around the hospital, enter on the 1701 N. Senate side of the building and you can get to the ER avoiding the metal detectors and the K9.

And as has been pointed out, Signs signs everywhere signs..... There are signs everywhere, only some of them are legally supported. Some are simply a sign saying no guns, but carry no weight of law. When a poster asks if it is legal to carry, they are asking if it is LEGAL to carry regardless if there is a sign requesting we not carry there. I agree with one post here saying it would be nice if there was an official sign stating the law, and also nice if there was a penalty for displaying that sign if it isn't a legal GFZ / CSZ (criminal safe zone)

This $7 OTC aspirin tablets have RFIDs in them?
Been in IU Health at I456 & N Meridian (Do NOT drive that area right now unless you mean it!) on PA Parkway many times supporting a friend. Never noted any gun busters ever. `Course, it's an outpatient facility.

Why do you think they cost $7?

 

[Stang51d]

I got a bullet taken out of me there once, so I guess its not a bullet free zone

Sure it is, why do you think they took the bullet out of you? If they allowed them, they would have let you stay their with it in you.
