There was an interesting new post on the subject written by Chief Political Reporter Dan Carden and published at the Northwest Indiana Times. Take a look at this excerpt:

The Hoosier State may continue to be a mishmash of confusing rules and regulations when it comes to carrying firearms at polling places.

Indiana law currently is silent on whether Hoosiers licensed to carry firearms in public are allowed to bring a handgun with them when they go vote — except when their polling place is located in a building where guns always are prohibited, such as a school or courthouse.

State Rep. Tim Wesco, R-Osceola, chairman of the House Committee on Elections and Apportionment, wanted to change that by explicitly allowing guns in all public buildings used as polling places, unless the local unit of government that owns the building containing a polling site took action to specifically prohibit firearms.
