HB 2382 expands criminal penalties for the unlawful transfer and purchase of firearms. It makes it a crime to knowingly provide a firearm to individuals prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law. The bill adds penalties for "straw purchases," where a person buys a firearm with the intent to transfer it to someone who is legally barred from owning one. Violations under this bill range from Class A misdemeanors to state jail felonies, depending on the nature of the offense.
