Production companies hire out for that. As many companies film in Canada, here is a praying mantis boxing teacher who runs a prop gun company:

Fake guns. How do you think Mark Wahlberg runs around with guns?

This question is for Mr. Freeman.
My brother went and got himself busted again. This time for possession of Methamphetamine. This one is here in St. Joseph County, Indiana(the previous in Illinois). I'm not so certain that he will be lucky enough to escape both cases without a felony conviction especially since this second one involves meth.
He has now come to live with me in hopes that I can help him straighten out his life path. If he is to be convicted on felony charges and continues to live with me after he serves his time, will I need to remove all firearms from my home and property?

I am not Kirk; I have neither the rakish good looks nor the JD after my name.
That said, I believe as long as he does not have access (locked in a safe to which he has neither combination nor key, for example) you would be ok. I answer in spite of not being Kirk only because I recall this or similar questions asked previously. I welcome correction if I am mistaken.
Blessings,
Bill

I can not answer as to your issues with the firearms.
What I will say is you are in for a rough ride as you can not straighten someone out with a drug habit. It is totally up to them what they do and you might only be a crutch in his issues. Do not enable him. Set the rules and stay strong.
I wish you well in this.

Assuming arguendo that your brother and room mate becomes a prohibited person, then it within your best interest to ensure that there is no way that your prohibited person brother could access your firearms or ammunition. I do not recommend keeping them on your property. Perhaps off-site, friend's house or safe in a storage unit.
I have stored a friend's firearms for a buddy who had a son who had a run-in with law enforcement. Counseling and a hitch in the USN sorted him out and he mustered out with a trade (his problem was knuckleheadedness, not addiction) and the young man is a upstanding, productive member of Tippecanoe County now.

I remember a time long ago that going into the military was actually a way to get out of trouble... service or jail your choice( something like pre trial diversion just 2-4 years long). Now good luck getting in with criminal history I was to be an artillery range finder but family medical history did me in.
I remember serving with some of these fine folks...wish they had made it harder back then. Nothing like bringing criminals into your organization to make it more criminal. More than a few of them went off to prison anyway.
Does an air rifle or air pistol qualify as a firearm in Indiana or by Feds? They make some darn fine PCP Rifle's and Pistols these days that are about as fun to shoot as a firearm, with integral silencers built in because they are not considered firearms so that may answer my own question. Nice to shoot without bothering neighbors with a quiet air rifle or pistol. Anyway, if shooting is a preferred activity to bond over, then air guns may provide an equally fun activity.
Examples of modern air rifles. Some you can hunt with. Pre-Charged Pneumatic Air Rifles | PCP Rifles - PyramydAir.com
