Is it legal to carry a firearm onto the property of a K-12 school in Indiana?

  1. Yes, with a Handgun License

  2. No

  3. Yes, if unloaded and locked in a vehicle

  4. Yes, with special permission

The correct answer is: No

In Indiana, it is illegal to carry a firearm onto the property of a K-12 school, which includes any school building or school grounds. This law is in place to ensure the safety and security of students and staff within educational environments. While there are exceptions and specific regulations regarding firearms in other locations, K-12 school properties are strictly regulated to prevent the possession of firearms. The other options, while presenting situations that may allow for firearm possession, do not align with the state's current legislation regarding schools. For instance, carrying a firearm with a Handgun License onto such property is prohibited regardless of licensing. Similarly, even if a firearm were unloaded and locked in a vehicle, the law does not permit such arrangements on school grounds. Special permissions might apply in some scenarios for certain people or events, but those are not relevant in the general context of K-12 school property access. Hence, the correct answer reflects the strong legal restrictions in place to maintain a safe educational environment.
