Suspension or revocation of license; failure to return license; rules
concerning procedure for suspending or revoking license
Sec. 5. (a) The superintendent may suspend or revoke any license
issued under this chapter if he has reasonable grounds to believe that
the person's license should be suspended or revoked.
(b) Documented evidence that a person is not a "proper person"
to be licensed as defined by IC 35-47-1-7, or is prohibited under
section 3(g)(4) of this chapter from being issued a license, shall be
grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of a license
previously issued under this chapter. However, if a license is
suspended or revoked based solely on an arrest under section 3(g)(4)
of this chapter, the license shall be reinstated upon the acquittal of
the defendant in that case or upon the dismissal of the charges for the
specific offense.
(c) A person who fails to promptly return his license after written
notice of suspension or revocation commits a Class A misdemeanor.
The observation of a handgun license in the possession of a person
whose license has been suspended or revoked constitutes a sufficient
basis for the arrest of that person for violation of this subsection.
(d) The superintendent shall establish rules under IC 4-22-2
concerning the procedure for suspending or revoking a person's
license.
