Modifies the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm

This bill updates the state law regarding unlawful possession of a firearm by clarifying and expanding the specific circumstances under which such possession is considered a crime. It directly affects individuals who have been convicted of felonies, domestic assault in the fourth degree, or those subject to certain protective court orders restraining them from harassing or threatening others. The legislation reclassifies the offense as a class D felony, or a class C felony if the person has a prior dangerous felony conviction, while explicitly excluding antique firearms from these restrictions. By detailing the conditions for criminal liability, the bill aims to provide clearer guidelines on when firearm possession is illegal, particularly for people with specific criminal histories or court-ordered restrictions.
