If a spouse tells us, while on scene of a domestic, that their significant other was dangerous (that they made threats in the past...etc) and there was a gun in the house, we are allowed to seize it per Indiana law IC35-47-14-1
Although i can see why laws like this might exist they are to vaguely written. When you say "made threats in the past" I hope or assume you mean there are documented instances of said threats. I mean the way the law is written is sounds like an angry wife can call the police and say "he threatened me"... "I'm afraid"... Etc. and he can lose his gun(s). Literally all depending on how convincing she can be, or what kind of officer shows up on the call. Lets say a scorned wife does just that, purposely says these things so the gun(s) go bye bye, now the guy has to go through a WHOLE thing to get them back if he ever can.
Am I reading this correctly? Could it be that easy for a spouse to do this?
