How Indiana’s red flag law could be stronger Dustin Grove © Provided by WTHR Indianapolis
When Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears told reporters on Monday that Indiana’s red flag law has significant limitations and loopholes, State Representative Ed Delaney wasn’t surprised.
“He’s right,” said Delaney (D-Indianapolis). “The law is very much balanced in favor of the gun owner as opposed to the concern for public safety.”
Red flag laws are now in place in more than a dozen states to keep guns away from people deemed dangerous or mentally unstable.
The legislation, passed in 2005 in Indiana, allows police to seize guns from that person’s home. Prosecutors then have 14 days to file the case in court and ask a judge to red flag the person in a national database to keep them from buying guns in the future.
