Yes. Convictions for firearm offenses can limit your ability to legally own, carry, or purchase firearms. Certain offenses, like felon-in-possession charges, can permanently restrict your Second Amendment rights unless successfully expunged or restored.

If you’re facing gun charges in Indiana, there are several ways to defend yourself. Common defenses include self-defense, lack of intent, unlawful search and seizure, mistaken identity, improper firearm registration, or challenging whether the firearm was legally possessed. An experienced Indiana gun crime lawyer can determine the best defense for your case.

To expunge a gun-related offense in Indiana, you must file a petition, pay any fines or fees, meet required waiting periods (such as five years for misdemeanors, longer for felonies), and demonstrate rehabilitation and no new criminal activity. An experienced Indiana expungement gun rights lawyer can guide you through the process.

The maximum sentence for a gun charge in Indiana depends on the offense, ranging from up to 1 year for misdemeanors to several years in prison for felony gun charges, with federal offenses carrying even harsher penalties.

Under Indiana law, a serious violent felon is someone convicted of certain violent felonies such as murder, rape, robbery, arson, or aggravated battery. Being classified as a serious violent felon can enhance sentences, increase restrictions on firearm possession, and impact parole eligibility.
