Can a felon hunt in Indiana?

Answer 1

No, because the Colorado Division of Wildlife defines bows as "any other weapon."

The following statement was issued by the division in January 2011:

Colorado State Law was amended in 1994 to prohibit the possession of a

firearm or other weapons (pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes Title

18, Article 12). It was also amended in 2000 to make such possession a

class 6 felony instead of a class 1 misdemeanor. The beginning wording

of CRS 18-12-108 is:

(1) A person commits the crime of possession of a weapon by a previous

offender if the person knowingly possesses, uses, or carries upon his or

her person a firearm as described in section 18-1-901 (3) (h) or any

other weapon that is subject to the provisions of this article

subsequent to the person's conviction for a felony, or subsequent to the

person's conviction for attempt or conspiracy to commit a felony, under

Colorado or any other state's law or under federal law.

CRS 18-1-901(3)(h) adds the following provision that covers

muzzleloaders and shotguns: 18-1-901(3)(h) "Firearm" means any handgun,

automatic, revolver, pistol, rifle, shotgun, or other instrument or

device capable or intended to be capable of discharging bullets,

cartridges, or other explosive charges.

Because 18-12-108 includes "firearm... OR ANY OTHER WEAPON that is

subject to the provisions of this article", it also includes 'dangerous'

and 'deadly weapons'. It is the interpretation of the Attorney General

and the Division of Wildlife that bow and arrow are dangerous and deadly

weapons, therefore, not allowed for possession of persons convicted of a

felony.

Answer 2

In Indiana, individuals convicted of a felony are generally restricted from possessing firearms for a certain period of time after completing their sentence. This restriction may impact a felon's ability to hunt since hunting often involves the use of firearms. It is important for felons to adhere to the laws and regulations regarding firearms possession in the state.
