Gun Crimes

Gun crimes in Indiana are serious offenses that can dramatically affect your life. Under Indiana law, firearm offenses fall into two categories: licensing, possession, and sale violations; and prohibited uses of firearms. Examples of these violations include unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a handgun without a license and firing a weapon into an inhabited dwelling. Each of these actions can lead to severe legal consequences.

Depending on the specific offense, you could face misdemeanor or felony charges. For example, using a firearm to commit another criminal offense typically elevates the charge to a felony level. The consequences of a weapons crime conviction are far-reaching and can include difficulties in securing employment, restrictions on living in subsidized housing, complications in child custody arrangements, immigration issues and a permanent impact on your future right to own or carry a firearm.
