So did black people who chose to eat at diners.

This is a childish and false dichotomy that you attempt to use way too often.

For someone who has admitted his Daddy's farm employs illegals from time to time, you sure do run your mouth alot about respect and the Law.

It appears the Indiana law provides absolute civil immunity in cases such as this. See Indiana Code Sec. 34-30-31-1(1)(b).



Does Louisiana have a similar statute?

They can set whatever terms they want. It doesn't carry the force of law. If a business doesn't like that, they're free to go to a state that does.

You're not trying to draw a parallel between the mall and someone's private residence, are you?

I don't believe policy carries the force of law in Indiana.

Take a look at Indiana Code § 35-43-2-2 ( criminal trespass)).

I doubt the mall presses charges, but it looks to me like the posted signage constitutes a prohibition upon entry with a firearm, making any such entry a misdemeanor criminal trespass.

Again, probably academic since no charges will be pressed in this case and the kid has civil immunity for the shooting.

He's also quick to cluck his tongue about nuance, typically claiming that most posters are incapable of grasping it. Then the next day he's doing the "you either respect xxxxx rights or you do not" routine.

Did the mall ask him to leave? Correct me if I'm wrong, but this statute wouldn't apply in Indiana for merely carrying on the property because no firearms signs do not carry the force of law in the state.

Constitutionally, I see no difference. Whether I own a double-wide or a mall, my property is my property.

I know that you are not so simple as to argue Public Accomodation, but others are not, so …

There is no Civil Rights Act in play here, and in any case I stand by my belief that public accomodation laws are a completely unconstitutional extension of the Commerce Clause.

Section (2)(b)(1) says that a person commits a trespass if he enters real property … after having been denied entry.

Section (2)(c) says a person has been “denied entry” under subsection (b)(1) when the person has been denied entry by means of posting … a notice … in a manner that is … likely to come to the attention of the public.

Your opinion of re applicability? (not re the underlying policy)

Here's what USCCA says about Indiana law.

quote:

"No Weapons Allowed" Signs Enforced?

Are "No Weapons Allowed" signs enforced in Indiana? If yes, violating the sign would be considered to be a crime. If no, violating the sign would not be considered a criminal offense.

No. "No Weapons Allowed" signs are not enforced in Indiana.

This is why the second amendment is so important.

Please explain what nuance you see.

The second amendment prevents GOVERNMENTAL interference with gun possession (insert anti-Incorporation diatribe). It does not speak to private persons (property owners).

You have a near-absolute right to carry a firearm in public places. You do not have the same right on private property.

The fact that a law is not generally enforced does not mean that the conduct is rendered legal. You know this.

Read the statute. Does it say that there was technically a trespass, or does it not.

Again, the kid will clearly not be prosecuted. This is an academic exercise.

I never said I did. I did say (or if I didn't I'm saying it now) that I'm comfortable violating their wishes in this particular instance because it puts zero burden on them. If they had a sign prohibiting men from wearing boxer shorts as their underwear I would ignore it in a similar fashion.

It’s not illegal. And the signs don’t carry the weight of law. Is this your crusade du jour?

So, you understand that you are engaged in a criminal trespass, and you are fine with that.

Fair enough.

Hank, you ought to know what force of law means. You also ought to know that you can't point to one specific statute and ignore the rest.

If you think a no firearms sign carries the force of law, take it up with every other legal mind who disagrees with you there.
