Well, I and a couple of co-workers were talking about felons and guns at the gym today. I have arrested quite a few people for "serious violent felon in possession of firearm" but he asked "what about the felonies not on that list"? "Can they have guns at home if they were convicted of theft under Indiana law?" I have never come across this but I assumed "NO". Well, once again I ASSumed wrong. Indiana has NO law preventing a non violent felon keeping guns at home. They cannot buy them but maybe they possessed them prior to the conviction. Now Federal Law is different but I cannot enforce that. Also, I found a 7th Circuit Court of Appeals case saying that a man arrested Federally for this would have been ok if he was at home with the firearms since Indiana allows it, regardless of Federal law.

If I am wrong, please let me know, I have looked and looked and cannot find a state law against it.
