§ 115.20 Criminal facilitation; definitions and construction.

For purposes of this article, such conduct shall include, but not be

limited to, making available, selling, exchanging, giving or disposing

of a community gun, which in fact, aids a person to commit a crime.

"Community gun" shall mean a firearm that is actually shared, made

available, sold, exchanged, given or disposed of among or between two or

more persons, at least one of whom is not authorized pursuant to law to

possess such firearm. "Dispose of" shall have the same meaning as that

term is defined in section 265.00 of this chapter. "Share" and "make

available" shall, in the case of a firearm, be construed to include

knowingly placing such firearm at a location accessible and known to one

or more other persons.
