• Art. 47: WEAPONS AND INSTRUMENTS OF VIOLENCE
• Ch. 14: Proceedings for the Seizure and Retention of a Firearm

Text

(a) For the purposes of this chapter, an
individual is "dangerous" if:
(1) the individual presents an imminent risk of personal injury to
the individual or to another individual; or
(2) It is probable that the individual will present a risk of personal
injury to the individual or to another individual in the future and
the individual:
(A) has a mental illness (as defined in IC 12-7-2-130) that may
be controlled by medication, and has not demonstrated a pattern
of voluntarily and consistently taking the individual's
medication while not under supervision; or
(B) is the subject of documented evidence that would give rise
to a reasonable belief that the individual has a propensity for
violent or suicidal conduct.
(b) The fact that an individual has been released from a mental
health facility or has a mental illness that is currently controlled by
medication does not establish that the individual is dangerous for the
purposes of this chapter.
