For those that are familiar with Indiana law.

I will be traveling through your state in the beginning of august. I will be staying at a place called, "Turkey Run Inn, Turkey Run State Park, 8102 E. Park Rd., Marshall, Indiana 47859".
From what i have read here in the Indiana forums it is alright to carry in a state park however this is posted on there website, "Any firearm, BB gun, air gun, CO[sub]2[/sub] gun, bow and arrow, or spear gun in possession in a state park must be unloaded or un-nocked and stored in a case or locked within a vehicle except when participating in an activity authorized by written permit." -> http://www.turkeyrunstatepark.com/rules/index.htm


Would I be alright open/concealed carry at this place?


Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks for the quick response. I have been to that site, it doesn't really clarify what i was asking. It said "Yes DNR Regs" in state parks. So looked some more and found this but am still a bit confused. (no wonder i don't practice law) I found this. I read it and can't seem to follow it.

312 IAC 8-2-3 Firearms, hunting, and trapping
Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-11-2-1; IC 14-22-2-6
Affected: IC 14-22-11-1; IC 35-47-2

Heh. replied to myself.

kept reading and found this,

312 IAC 8-2-1 Posted special requirements
Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-11-2-1
Affected: IC 14
Sec. 1. (a) A sign may be posted to authorize a particular use, to identify conditions upon a particular use, or to establish
prohibitions against a particular use within a DNR property or a portion of a DNR property. A sign may close an area to entry by
the public.
(b) A person must not violate a sign posted under this section. (Natural Resources Commission; 312 IAC 8-2-1; filed Oct 28,

You can carry in State Parks as of September 2006. National Parks is still a no-no.

Subject: Turkey Run State Park - Firearms question

To whom it may concern:

I will be vacationing and staying at Turkey Run State Park in
August. I have a license to carry a firearm and I carry it everyday. On
the Turkey Run State Park website under, " Park Rules ", it says, " Any
firearm, BB gun, air gun, CO_2 gun, bow and arrow, or spear gun in
possession in a state park must be unloaded or un-nocked and stored in a

case or locked within a vehicle except when participating in an activity

authorized by written permit." From my understanding the Governor and
DNR for Indiana made a law allowing the carry of firearms on State Park
land in September 2006. Which is correct? State law or the rules posted
on the State Parks website.

Please advise.



Thank you,

Adam

Susan,
Thank you for the quick response. The website is,
http://www.turkeyrunstatepark.com/ found the rules here,
http://www.turkeyrunstatepark.com/rules/index.htm


I have read that PDF, I sometimes find it difficult to read
Laws/Statutes. But from what I have read, as long as I have my LTCH
(license to carry handgun) I will be alright carrying concealed/open for

my visit to that state park?


Thanks again,


--------------------
That's the way I take it to and I double checked with my boss and he
said yes that you could as long as it wasn't on a Core of Engineering
property/reservoir because they are Federally owned and not State owned.
I think they passed that in 2006.
---------------------------

My correspondence with Susan IN DNR Rep.

Thanks for your responses.

That's cool, atomm.

I'd take the part that said "except when participating in an activity authorized by written permit" to mean that the activity I am participating in is "carrying a handgun" and that it is authorized by a written permit, which is to say, my license to carry a handgun.

Thx for all the help. Emailed Indiana DNR. She stated the head DNR guy at the park got regular updates on rules/laws. She said that website was not maintained by DNR and is out of date. I Just got back. Was there 08/06/08 - 08/11/08 open carry in the park, hotel, and on there trails. Zero trouble from employees. Even spoke with a Indiana state trooper and all went well.


Thanks

Congrats Atomm. Seeing that you are back in Michigan, you should have no trouble attending the Warren OC Picnic this Saturday, August 16th. Bring family and friends...it starts about 1:00.
