Laws current as of September 2, 2025 I am a victim of domestic violence and the abuser has a gun. Is that legal?
An abuser who has been convicted of certain crimes may be prevented from having or buying a gun for a period of time after the conviction. For more information, see If the abuser has been convicted of a crime, can s/he keep or buy a gun?
Also, federal laws, which apply to all states, restrict an abuser’s right to have a gun in certain situations. Go to Federal Gun Laws to get more information.
