All they have to do is tell the towns council that they are going to contact the towns insurance carrier, and notify them of their action, and as a result the town is responsible for anything that results from a shooting on town property. By issuing their new law, they become responsible for anything that happens on their property. The insurance company will increase their premium drastically or may even refuse to insure. This has happened to a number of store owners that chose to put a “no weapons allowed” sign in their windows. Many of these stores have removed their signs in order to maintain their insurance.

“Is that legal under IN law?”

Yes, it only applies to city property. It doesn’t apply to Pete’s Garage or Aunt Alma’s Diner & Cafe.

“Does Indiana have a state level firearms preemption law?”

Yes, but it was written so that the anti-gun laws in black cities such as Gary would be grandfathered in.

“We do, but it’s a very weak preemption law. I also have it on good authority that strengthening our preemption is a “to-do” item for some of our pro-gun legislators.”

Really? Has a bill been drafted? Who has it?

If not, that should be next on the agenda for the Indiana pro RKBA movement.
