Not a Good Example Of...

[GREEN607]

..not a good example of your 'typical' Indiana gun owner. But this will get even more press. Four or more FELONY charges, while in possession of a firearm. Anyway, this creep is not a good representation of "We the people..."

Last sentence says "possession of a handgun w/o a license equals a misdemeanor". Really?

Last sentence says "possession of a handgun w/o a license equals a misdemeanor". Really?

"Section 1" as highlighted below, is the section about carrying without a license:
IC 35-47-2-1
Carrying a handgun without being licensed; exceptions; person convicted of domestic battery

IC 35-47-2-23
Violations; classes of misdemeanors and felonies
Sec. 23. (a) A person who violates section 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, or 16 of this chapter commits a Class B misdemeanor.
(b) A person who violates section 7, 17, or 18 of this chapter commits a Class C felony.
(c) A person who violates section 1 of this chapter commits a Class A misdemeanor. However, the offense is a Class C felony:
(1) if the offense is committed:
(A) on or in school property;
(B) within one thousand (1,000) feet of school property; or
(C) on a school bus; or
(2) if the person:
(A) has a prior conviction of any offense under:
(i) this subsection; or
(ii) subsection (d); or
(B) has been convicted of a felony within fifteen (15) years before the date of the offense. (d) A person who violates section 22 of this chapter commits a Class A misdemeanor. However, the offense is a Class D felony if the person has a prior conviction of any offense under this subsection or subsection (c), or if the person has been convicted of a felony within fifteen (15) years before the date of the offense.
As added by P.L.311-1983, SEC.32. Amended by P.L.16-1984, SEC.20; P.L.140-1994, SEC.9; P.L.17-1997, SEC.7.
