LC 1791 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Establish the crime of possession of stolen firearm or ammunition

This bill creates a new criminal offense for knowingly possessing stolen firearms or ammunition, allowing for up to 10 years in state prison upon conviction. It directly affects individuals who receive, store, sell, or dispose of stolen guns or ammo by making these actions a prosecutable crime. The legislation also amends existing youth court transfer laws to include possession of stolen firearms or ammunition among the offenses that can move a case from juvenile to adult court. This change ensures that possession of stolen weapons is treated as a serious offense that can trigger adult prosecution procedures for older youth. The bill focuses on establishing clear legal penalties and procedural rules without commenting on the effectiveness or necessity of these measures.
