    Where's the bacon?
    Fixed it for him further.

    Any lawyer worth listening to isn't likely to dispense free advice.
    Hold on there, Chez... We have several on here who offer free advice. It's not specific advice in many cases, but rather generalized points such as "You must have been issued a LTCH to carry a handgun off of your property as an Indiana resident, with very few exceptions."
    For anything too much more specific, the acronym I've seen is IAALBIANYL (I am a lawyer, but I am not your lawyer.) In short, if you need specific advice on your specific circumstances, consult a member of the bar, licensed to practice in the state where the problem arises.

    Still and all, I can't fault those who don't jump in with their professional thoughts and opinions. Abraham Lincoln was quoted as saying that a lawyer's time and advice are his stock in trade. For you counselors who offer your aid freely, thank you. It is appreciated.

    Blessings,
    Bill

    Ignoring the Trolls, Trogledytes and Ogres (et al)

    Is it worth pointing out to the OP (HEY OP!) ... that once SB 229 (errrrr ... now SEA 229) is enacted and takes effect JULY 1 2014 ...
    - that A person that can legally possess a firearm*
    (* as defined in the revised IC for this instance) may legally store a firearm in the their car, locked out of site (with added stipulations and conditions)
    ON school property to be able to exit the vehicle as inquired about.

    THIS is what some of us that were paying attention worked very hard to support and get thru the legislature.

    Next year. we'll try for some more, better improvements. ... keep paying attention ...
    we will need more help cause as the bills / legislature gets better for us.
    the opposition gets stiffer.
