IC 35-47-2-1
Carrying a handgun without a license or by person convicted of domestic battery
Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) and section 2 of this chapter, a person shall not carry a handgun in any vehicle or on or about the person's body, except in the person's dwelling, on the person's property or fixed place of business, without a license issued under this chapter being in the person's possession.
The letter of the law says you need to have it on your person when outside your apartment. Common areas are usually not defined as your apartment.
The gray area is the part of "on the person's property". Who's to say what part of the "common area" is this particular person's property. I've said this many times and I'll say it again; I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. Pay a few dollars and speak to an attorney who is familiar with firearm laws. You can also refer to the state attorney general's office or to the agency that issued you the permit.

geeze guy, it's your choice, but if you're gonna carry the handgun, that little permit/license shouldn't over-burden you.
In NV, it's a $25 civil penalty.
The IC does state it must be in your possession. The question of whether or not the common areas of your apartment complex or condo/homeowner's association is a matter best addressed by an attorney who is a member of the IN State Bar as case law would come into play here.
Best practice is for you to carry your CCW any time you are carrying concealed outside of real estate you own, lease, or rent. For apartments or condos it's inside the unit; from the studs in. For a house, it's the structure plus the parcel of land that the building is on that the owner pays property taxes on.
In my instance, the USPS delivers mail to community boxes that are located throughout the neighborhood. My particular box is located three houses away on the sidewalk. If I were to carry concealed to get my mail without my NV CFP, I would risk getting cited for carrying a concealed firearm without my NV CFP being in my possession. It is also at the investigating LEOs discretion on whether or not to confiscate the firearm you are carrying and let a judge or the DA's office sort it out. If the NV Criminal Repository is down, it becomes my word against the responding LEOs. Also keep in mind that my State is over $1B in the red, I know that NV LEOs have been (unofficially) put into revenue generation mode.
Most States has a some sort if computer database for verification of CCWs issued by them or a political subdivision within the State.
All Cisco Systems campuses in TX have 30.06 signage posted at all entrances to the parking area and all entrances to the buildings. I was at the Richardson TX campus for employer training January 2007.Reading these posts brings up another question. Has anyone run into their place of work banning any weapon on the premises even if it is locked in your vehicle and you have a permit to carry? Can they legally do that?
