    Some states have misdemeanors that you can be imprisoned for more than 1 year. Indiana is not one of those, maximum sentence for a misdemeanor is one year/365 days.

    There are no misdemeanors under Indiana law which carry a sentence of more than one year imprisonment. The highest level of misdemeanor "A" carries a sentence of no more than 365 days, which is the classification which carrying a handgun without a license falls in.

    Under certain circumstances, a judge can run sentences on multiple misdemeanor counts consecutively resulting in a aggregate sentence of over one year. However, since none of the crimes themself carry such a sentence, they do not disqualify under the federal statute.

    Edit: If a habitual vehiclular substance offender enhancement is added to an OWI misdemeanor, the aggregate sentence can exceed one year. I do not know how the feds treat sentence enhancements when the underlying crime itself cannot receive any more than 365 days imprisonment.

    Thanks. Hope to never find out personally.

    As a gun enthusiast my whole life i fully support the second amendment and the gun rights of law abiding citizens. That being said i absolutely can not stand these people who use their weapons to try to make a point. That's not what the second amendment is about, and that's not what weapons are for. These idiots are giving the rest of us a bad rap.

    2 crimes from 1 event.

    and that's why I asked the question, because the first crime was
    carrying a handgun without a license is a class a misdemeanor sentence of 365 days

    and the second was
    trespassing (he was asked to leave, and didn't) so if the judge sentenced him to 1 day that=366 days

    so the person in the original post, cant (wont) lose his gun rights if convicted on both charges?

    (asking for a friend!)

    No.

    You have to be convicted of A Crime for which the maximum penalty exceeds one year. 2 crimes that can add up to more than 1 year are not "a crime"...which is singular.
