I am a victim of domestic violence and the abuser has a gun. Is that legal?

Indiana state law says that a person cannot have or buy a gun if they have been convicted of certain crimes or have an order for protection against them that says they cannot have a gun. If neither of those apply to you, see I do not have an order for protection against the abuser, and they have not been convicted of a crime. Is there anything I can do?

Also, federal laws, which apply to all states, may restrict an abuser’s right to have a gun. Go to Federal Gun Laws to get more information.
