(a) The superintendent may suspend or revoke
any license issued under this chapter if the superintendent has
reasonable grounds to believe that the person's license should be
suspended or revoked.
(b) Documented evidence that a person is not a "proper person" to
be licensed as defined by IC 35-47-1-7, or is prohibited under section
3(i)(5) of this chapter from being issued a license, shall be grounds for
immediate suspension or revocation of a license previously issued
under this chapter. However, if a license is suspended or revoked based
solely on an arrest under section 3(i)(5) of this chapter, the license shall
be reinstated upon the acquittal of the defendant in that case or upon
the dismissal of the charges for the specific offense.
(c) A person who knowingly or intentionally fails to promptly return
the person's license after written notice of suspension or revocation
commits a Class A misdemeanor. The observation of a handgun license
in the possession of a person whose license has been suspended or
revoked constitutes a sufficient basis for the arrest of that person for
violation of this subsection.
(d) The superintendent shall establish rules under IC 4-22-2
concerning the procedure for suspending or revoking a person's license.
