What does a notarized signature look like?

Notarized Signatures are merely a signature that has been signed in front of a Notary Public.

The Notary then signs beneath and stamps the document with a Notary Seal, which informs everyone the signature has been 'validated' as being the actual signature of the individual(s) who are signing the document.

They appear something like this:

Before me, a notary public in and for the said County and State, personally appeared the above named (Signer's Name) who acknowledged that he/she did sign the foregoing instrument and that the same is his/her free and voluntary act and deed. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and official seal this _____ day of ________, 200____. ___________________________________ Notary Public My commission expires _______________________ {NOTARY SEAL}

If you need your signature notarized keep in mind that most Notary Public usually charge a small fee for notarizing documents. Most banking institutions will also have a Notary that can notarize signatures on documents. Some banks will offer this service to it's customers for free. You shouldn't have to spend more than a few bucks to get something notarized.

What are the gun laws for a convicted felon?

Under federal law, carry and own are two very different matters. Federal law takes precedent over state law. That being said, a BB gun is only a weapon under federal law if it fires ammunition by means of an explosive release: black powder, black powder substitute, gas (compressed air, CO2, etc.), or other explosive substance. If the BB is spring fired, then the felon may legally own it under federal law.

Indiana Code mirrors federal law very closely. For purposes of definition the state of Indiana sees a firearm as:

IC 35-47-1-5

"Firearm"

Sec. 5. "Firearm" means any weapon:

(1) that is:

(A) capable of expelling; or

(B) designed to expel; or

(2) that may readily be converted to expel; a projectile by means of an explosion.

Any device then that can expel (launch, throw, push out) a projectile (ball, bullet, bolt, solid object) by use of an explosion (a violent expansion of a volume of space by means of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear means) is a firearm in Indiana.

And a handgun is:

IC 35-47-1-6

"Handgun"

Sec. 6. "Handgun" means any firearm:

(1) designed or adapted so as to be aimed and fired from one (1) hand, regardless of barrel length; or

(2) any firearm with:

(A) a barrel less than sixteen (16) inches in length; or

(B) an overall length of less than twenty-six (26) inches.

Any "handgun" in Indiana is a "firearm."

Finally, Indian defines ammunition as:

IC 35-47-1-2.5

"Ammunition"

Sec. 2.5. "Ammunition", for purposes of IC 35-47-11.1, means:

(1) fixed cartridge ammunition;

(2) shotgun shells;

(3) the individual components of fixed cartridge ammunition and shotgun shells;

(4) projectiles for muzzle loading firearms; and

(5) any propellant used in a firearm or in firearm ammunition.

While BB's that are not ever used as components of any fixed cartridge or muzzle loading applications may not be defined as "Ammunition" under Indiana law, CO2 cartridges, or the mechanism for compressing air used in many BB type guns can be.

Additionally:Indiana law is actually fairly liberal as relates to some felony charges, and time limitations are listed. It is possible for those convicted of some felonies in Indiana to petition the state for reestablishment of their right to own or possess a firearm after the passage of time.

What is a drug paraphernalia charge?

It means they had some sort of drug "tool" in their possession. Usually a crack pipe, rolling papers, coke spoon, syringes, or something else used to do drugs. But it could also be something as insignificant as an empty prescription bottle swedged under the seat of a car from the previous owner. Get them a decent lawyer and they should beat the rap.

When should you use your horn?

Whenever someone is not paying attention while driving. If they are stopped at a green light or about to cause an accident, you should use your horn to tell them to stop what they are doing and pay attention.

Can you collect unemployment if you worked a job for only 4 months and was fired for job performance?

You can and should file. If your employer does not dispute it and you provide the unemployment office with a good reason for temination ( I would think something other than poor performance). You are not guranteed to get it, but I know that if you are denied that you may request a formal hearing to dispute it. A hearing officer will be assigned to get your reason for termination plus any documentation if any ( I hope that you think it was something other than poor perfomance) and then they will get your employer side plus any documentation if any. You have a 50/50 shot.

Is it fair for a person convicted of a nonviolent crime to have a permanent felony record?

Absolutely. Fraud, such as counterfeit checks, forgery or using someone else's credit card, aren't violent crimes but they can cost companies and individuals thousands of dollars, lost time and anguish. If you commit any serious crime, violent or not, you should have a convicted felon status; that keeps the rest of us safe from you. * Not when it is arbitrary. Records of felony convictions do not offer safety to the public even when they are related to violent crimes. The mere fact that someone has a record does not keep him or her from engaging in criminal activity, and as can be proven by FBI stats. background checks are seldom complete. Civil and criminal records of all court proceedings are seriously backlogged some by months many by years. Therefore, being able to access such information in a timely and accurate manner is simply not possible.
