Sawed-off shotgun
Sec. 4.1.
(a)
A person who:
(1) manufactures;
(2) causes to be manufactured;
(3) imports into Indiana;
(4) keeps for sale;
(5) offers or exposes for sale; or
(6) gives, lends, or possesses;
any sawed-off shotgun commits dealing in a sawed-off shotgun, a Class D felony.
(b)
The presence of a weapon referred to in subsection (a) in a motor vehicle (as
defined under IC 9-13-2-105(a)) except for school buses and a vehicle operated
in the transportation of passengers by a common carrier (as defined in IC
8-2.1-17-4) creates an inference that the weapon is in the possession of the
persons occupying the motor vehicle. However, the inference does not apply to
all the persons occupying the motor vehicle if the weapon is found upon, or
under the control of, one (1) of the occupants. In addition, the inference does
not apply to a duly licensed driver of a motor vehicle for hire who finds the
weapon in the licensed driver's motor vehicle in the proper pursuit of the
licensed driver's trade. (c) This section does not apply to a law enforcement
officer who is acting in the course of the officer's official duties or to a
person who manufactures or imports for sale or sells a sawed-off shotgun to a
law enforcement agency.
