Under Indiana's red flag law, who can petition the court to remove someone's firearm?

Family members only
Law enforcement only
Both family members and law enforcement
Anyone

The correct answer is: Both family members and law enforcement

Under Indiana's red flag law, both family members and law enforcement have the legal ability to petition the court to remove someone's firearm. This provision allows a wider range of individuals to seek intervention in situations where a person may pose a risk to themselves or others. The intent behind this is to enhance community safety by providing a mechanism for those who may have observed concerning behavior, whether they are relatives or law enforcement officers, to take action by initiating a court process that can lead to the temporary removal of firearms. This collaborative approach recognizes the role of both personal relationships and law enforcement in addressing potential threats and provides a procedure to safeguard public safety while also respecting individual rights.
