Permitting child to possess a firearm
Sec. 7. A child's parent or legal guardian who knowingly,
intentionally, or recklessly permits the child to possess a firearm:
(1) while:
(A) aware of a substantial risk that the child will use the
firearm to commit a felony; and
(B) failing to make reasonable efforts to prevent the use of
a firearm by the child to commit a felony; or
(2) when the child has been convicted of a crime of violence or
has been adjudicated as a juvenile for an offense that would
constitute a crime of violence if the child were an adult;
commits dangerous control of a child, a Class C felony. However, the
offense is a Class B felony if the child's parent or legal guardian has
a prior conviction under this section.
