State Gun Laws

In an extended order for protection, the judge can order that the abuser turn over to law enforcement or sell/transfer any firearms to a licensed firearm dealer - either must be done within 24 hours of service (receipt) of the order.¹ If there is probable cause to believe that the abuser has not surrendered, sold or transferred any firearm in his/her possession or control within 24 hours after service of the order, the judge can issue a search warrant authorizing a law enforcement officer to enter and search any place where there is probable cause to believe any firearm is located and seize (take) the firearm.² In general, when an order for protection expires, the firearm will be returned to the abuser. However, if the firearm is taken away due to it being used in a crime or if possession of the firearm violates the law, it will be disposed of by law enforcement.³
