Indiana Court of Appeals
Arthur Moore v. State of Indiana
23A-CR-2189
Criminal. Affirms Arthur Moore’s conviction in Marion Superior Court for Class A misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a handgun. Finds the state has satisfied its burden to show Subsection (b)(6) is consistent with the principles underpinning the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. Also finds Moore has not shown Subsection (b)(6) imposes a material burden on his right to bear arms under Indiana’s Constitution. Judge Elizabeth Tavitas concurs with separate opinion.
Richard Allen’s trial once held the promise of being the most high-profile court proceeding in Indiana history to be allowed to be captured live by television and streaming service cameras. But Judge Frances Gull ultimately decided to deny access.
