A new Indiana law taking effect July 1 prohibits the possession of imitation firearms on school property or on a school bus. The law, part of House Enrolled Act 1343, makes it a Class B misdemeanor to knowingly or intentionally possess an imitation firearm in these areas.
What Constitutes an Imitation Firearm?
An imitation firearm is essentially a toy or item that resembles a real firearm, potentially causing confusion. This can include items designed to look like real firearms, such as toy guns.
Guy Relford, known as “The Gun Guy,” encourages parents to discuss the new law with their children to ensure they understand the potential consequences of bringing imitation firearms to school. Students who knowingly bring imitation firearms onto school property or a school bus could face legal consequences, including up to 180 days in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both.
