Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm in Indiana?

  1. In a vehicle

  2. School property

  3. State parks

  4. Bars and restaurants that serve alcohol

The correct answer is: School property

Carrying a firearm in school property is illegal in Indiana due to specific regulations designed to enhance safety in educational environments. These regulations aim to protect children and staff from potential threats and maintain a peaceful learning atmosphere. The law applies to both public and private educational institutions, and it encompasses the entire premises, which includes buildings, grounds, and even school-sponsored events. In contrast, carrying a firearm in a vehicle is generally permissible under Indiana law, provided that certain conditions are met. Additionally, firearms can be carried in state parks unless there are specific prohibitions in certain areas, and while there are restrictions regarding firearms in bars and restaurants, they are regulated differently than school properties. Therefore, the restriction on carrying firearms on school property is distinct and emphasizes the importance of maintaining safety in education settings.
