Possession of a Firearm without a Permit

[E'villeGunner]

So...you need a Permit to OWN a firearm?

Man arrested at apartment complex after firing multiple shots to - 14 News, WFIE, Evansville, Henderson, Owensboro

Not exactly how I relieve stress......

Dulin was charged with Criminal Recklessness, Possession of a Firearm without a Permit, and Dealing Marijuana.

Yeah, I'm a little confused by that, too. He must have been off of his property.

Yeah, I'm a little confused by that, too. I wonder if it's the EPD or 14News that's inventing charges?

I don't know for sure, but given their track record, my bets are on EPD inventing new laws/charges.

I edited my post after going back and re-reading the story again. There's no indication that he was arrested in his apartment, although it did say that he was shooting out of an apartment window. If he wasn't on his property, then it would make sense. I chalk it up to shoddy reporting.

The media often listens to the scanner or gets the public CAD history and makes unwarranted assumptions because they THINK they know what's being talked about.

Prime example from our local media. CAD says "supervisor requested for tase". What that means is a sergeant needs to respond to the scene to do a use of force report. What the media reports it as is "officer requested permission to use Taser".

I've heard recently a few times in our local Media 'arrested with an "Unlicensed Handgun" in his home'. What does that mean? I tried looking it up on Startpage and all that it brings up is Permit to Carry or Lisense to carry... As far as I can tell it sounds as if there's already a Registry!? Or is this what they want us to think?

First of all, don't assume that the TV station got the facts correct or reported them accurately.

Then remember that he was CHARGED with "possession of a firearm without a permit", he may not ever be convicted of that if the facts show he was possessing this firearm in his home legally.

But I'm sure he's not going to be possessing that firearms legally any longer. Sounds like there is more than enough felony here to cover that prospect once he get out of prison.

Most people just don't have a clue what the laws are regarding gun ownership in Indiana .. partly that's because they hear news stories from other states, with different laws and requirements .. and assume it's the same everywhere. For most people this is excusable .. I mean, you don't become an expert on falconry until you buy a falcon .. people can't know everything. But it seems inexcusable for people in the media, whose job it should be to both report and inform ..

Most people get their gun law information from Hollywood. VUPDBlue has had "Silencers have NEVER been illegal!" as his tag line for years now because he got tired of people telling him otherwise.

The media can't be knowledgeable on everything. But all it takes is Google and some reliable sources to get that knowledge REAL fast.

Yep. There it is. Proof positive of "THE REGISTRY". No longer any doubt about it. Might as well get in line to start handing them in. It's a done deal.

It's gotta be true because it's on the Internet, they can't put anything on the Internet unless it's true!

 

[Scutter01]

I don't think that's true.

 

[Expat]

I don't think that's true.

Don't start up with your internet bashing again

Ok... an "I don't know" would be the easiest way to say it gentlemen.

I just can't figure out why I've heard this three times now "Unlicensed handgun" on WOWO here in town... Via FOX News. No one ever noted that they were outside of their own home.

Do we really think that the media is THAT stupid, or do we think that they are purposely trying to get us to believe that all handguns must be registered?

I bet most people that do not own guns do not know that they do not have to be registered, so it is probably some of both.

 

[shootersix]

what an idiot! do you know how hard it is to find ammo now! just to waste it like that!

i would venture a guess and say this "rhodes scholar" has bigger things to worry about than the media making a mistake on the "firearm without a permit charge"

as another poster said, i think they ment to say "felon in posssession of a firearm"

but this idiot did the city a favor, by doing this he said "hey come and take me to jail!" so the "men in black evansville division" granted his request!

 

[scootn103]

A person pulling a stunt like that does not deserve owning any firearm period , and it always leads to more , he chose the wrong path in life , enjoy yourself..

 

[ProZack]

Can anyone recommend a link to help understand what IS required in Indiana? Like in your house is ok and at the range is ok, but what about in between?

 

[Fan blade]

He probably got tired of waiting for his permit to appear - I hear it is a four month wait now.
