    [FONT=&amp]EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) - During a press conference Wednesday, EPD Sgt. Jason Cullum discussed a recent arrest and the successful use of the Red Flag Law.


    [FONT=&amp]Several days after a call to the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office from a family member, Kenneth Haynie, Jr., 67-years-old, was arrested on February 19 on a False Informing warrant. During the call to the sheriff’s office, the family member said Haynie discussed starting a confrontation with law enforcement, says the EPD news release....

    Reading the details, this looks like a legitimate use of the law.

    Again, when did Indiana pass a Red Flag Law?

    Looking to the regular cast of characters to weigh in on this...

    Not sure if I'm regular, or in the cast of characters, but here goes:

    Here's paragraph 1 of IC 35-47 Chapter 14 (AKA Laird Law) and a link below. House Bill 1651 provides more protections and adds transparency to the existing law.


    IC 35-47-14Chapter 14. Proceedings for the Seizure andRetention of aFirearmIC 35-47-14-1"Dangerous"Sec. 1. (a) For the purposes of this chapter, an individual is"dangerous" if:(1) the individual presents an imminent risk of personal injuryto the individual or to another individual; or(2) the individual maypresent a risk of personal injuryto theindividual or to another individual in the future and theindividual:(A) has a mental illness (as defined in IC 12-7-2-130) thatmay be controlled bymedication, and has not demonstrateda pattern of voluntarilyand consistentlytaking theindividual's medication while not under supervision; or(B) is the subject of documented evidence that would giverise to a reasonable belief that the individual has a propensityfor violent or emotionally unstable conduct.(b) The fact that an individual has been released from a mentalhealth facilityor has a mental illness that is currentlycontrolled bymedication does not establish that the individual is dangerous for thepurposes of this chapter.As added by P.L.1-2006, SEC.537.IC 35-47-14-2Warranttosearchforfirearm

    But that whole bucket is ripe for abuse. Someone can make a completely false report on someone just because they are liberal and hate guns and dont want you to have any and you can be stripped of your INALIENABLE 2nd amendment rights for no valid reason, without due process, The way the law is intentionally vague, it is ripe for abuse to be used to disarm law abiding citizens.

    This is what is called action without due process.

    That is not acceptable.

    There’s actually quite an extensive process. Whether it is constitutionally adequate due process or not will ultimately have to be determined by the courts.

    Generally speaking, I have no issue with some sort of “red flag” law, but I would always place the burden on the authorities to prove that the seizure and continuing possession of the firearms is necessary. The owner would never have to prove anything to get them back.

    Wait a minute.

    240 rounds / 10 guns = 24 rounds / gun

    Damn right he should have his firearms seized! It's obvious he's nuts.

    Nobody in their right mind would have less than 500 rounds PER firearm.

    We need to clean these whackjobs off the streets before they hurt somebody.

    I feel safer already.

    Doug

    PS - The 500 round rule naturally wouldn't apply to black powder. There the nutty factor is anything below 100.

    PPS - Apply purple at your own discretion.:D
