The Allen County Library is Violating Senate Bill 292!
The New Policy Directs Persons to either Present a License, or Leave.
While This is Legal for Handguns, however; This New Policy is Illegal for other Types of Firearms or Weapons.
Furthermore, Indiana ALLOWS Open Carry of Long Guns without a License.
An Open Carrier of a Long Gun under The above Situation has NO Duty to Present a License.
This is a Law Suit waiting to Happen.
If The Library Screens for Weapons, under (13) of Senate Bill 292, then, The Library would HAVE to do Two Things: 1. Place Law Enforcement (NOT Security) at EVERY Public Entrance with a Metal Detector, AND 2. Allow Handguns Anyways.
