Under Senate Enrolled Act 77, Indiana will regulate throwing stars the same way as any other knife-like weapon, which includes a ban on school property.
Some business owners in Indiana say theyre planning to take advantage of the change in state law.
We get people coming in every single day and asking us about it, said Ryan Gustin, the owner of Flying Squirrel Axe Throwing in Speedway.
Gustin said he is planning to start a throwing star league after Indiana lifts its ban. The activity is offered at axe-throwing businesses in other states.
To help protect his customers, Gustin said, he plans to dull the edges of the stars blades.
Well train you how to do it, he said. Well teach you how to do this safely.
When the legislation was first proposed this session, it limited them only to recreational businesses. But House lawmakers broadened the bill before it was signed into law, allowing them in almost any environment.

You know, seeing how throwing stars are in the news every day and used for crimes and stuff, right?
You'd think they would have some more pressing issues to spend their time on.
