Some Counties do some don't...Johnson County hotlinks that site on its homepage.
That's right. It's a form of intimidation if done willfully. Those who aren't in the know of SB292 will not realize it is now legal to carry in those places and won't. As has been said before on other threads what would happen if someone posted, "No African-Americans Allowed in City Parks?" It is blatantly illegal but you couldn't get by with saying, "We just don't want to change the sign."Many local governments would like for you to continue believing that firearms are still prohibited in public parks, up to and including, local law enforcement still citing individuals under ordinance.
Apparently they don't know how to read state law.

New Whiteland has never had a sheriff. Was your uncle the Sheriff of Johnson County?
That sign is less than a year old.
Um, yeah, the county, but the jail and all were in New Whiteland. By the timing of the law, it could be only a year old, valid when posted but not now.
The Johnson County Jail has been located within the County Seat of Franklin, since 1826.

Prior to June 30, 2011, local governments could impose firearm ordinances on their properties and many (including Indy) did.
Not any more: Indiana Code 35-47-11.1
Thanks, but I seem to recall reading that some public areas were grandfathered in and the new state law didn't apply, not sure that I am correct?
Sec. 3. Any provision of an ordinance, measure, enactment, rule, or policy or exercise of proprietary authority of a political subdivision or of an employee or agent of a political subdivision acting in an official capacity:
(1) enacted or undertaken before, on, or after June 30, 2011; and
(2) that pertains to or affects the matters listed in section 2 of this chapter;
is void.
Ok, I was a kid at the time so I guess I was cornfused. I know something or other was in New Whiteland, now it's going to bug me.
