Here is what I was told by the head of security last night. You have to have a valid permit. Gun has to be unloaded and locked in the glove box. I feel this is more restrictive than the statute as I see nowhere that it requires the gun to be unloaded and it clearly gives other options than the glove box. I asked about long guns and brought it to his attention that a permit is not required to have a long gun in the vehicle. He said he has gotten no direction from the company on long guns.
...or stored out of sight in the employee's locked vehicle...
...legally possessing a firearm or ammunition...
Jeff just quit asking question about it or they will just fire you for no reason at all, follow the law and if they fire you for having a gun sue them, remember Indiana is a right to work state and you can be let go for any reason.
The law is actually quite ambiguous and will most likely create some case law.
How is anyone going to know you have a gun in your car unless you tell them? I can see the frustration, but what they dont know wont hurt them, or your employment status.
Nope. Your company is blowing smoke. If you want to keep your firearm all you need is a LTCH. That's the ONLY requirement, (unless you work at one of the exempted companies like Lilly). Just keep it locked in your car and don't talk about it. The law is on your side. Not your company's.my company just posted their rules for keeping your firearm in your vehicle. it states in part, that you have to notify them if you intend to keep a firearm in your vehicle. you have to provide them with the description of the firearm and possible the serial number. you will also according to them pay the company a $100.00 fee to help offset their higher insureance rates. Does the compay have the right to demand these stipulations? or are they just trying to bluff people into not have a firearm on company property. I think there were other stipulations but can't think of them all right now.
Thanks

True, but the majority of people don't carry long guns for self defence.Only need a LTCH if you have a handgun, can have a long gun without one.
There is no gun registration in Indiana, so you don't have to do anything. Just carry it in your vehicle and keep mum.I told someone at work that they were trying to bluff us. I have a permit to carry, all I need to do is register my guns and keep quiet. One of the other points in their rules were if they knew you were keeping a gun in you vehicle was you had to submit to a random search of you car.
