State Gun Laws

The criminal law that prohibits firearm possession makes it clear that it only applies to a final injunction against domestic violence or stalking/cyber-stalking.¹ However, the temporary injunction does allow the judge to check off a box that says “Respondent shall not use or possess a firearm or ammunition” and “Respondent shall surrender any firearms and ammunition in the Respondent’s possession” to law enforcement.²

In addition, the law that covers licenses to carry concealed weapons doesn’t specifically state that the injunction needs to be final. It prohibits someone who has an injunction against him/her for committing acts of domestic violence or acts of repeat violence from getting a license to carry a concealed weapon.²
