I have a temporary restraining order. Can the abuser have a gun?

Louisiana law tells a judge what protections s/he is allowed to grant someone in a temporary order of protection. Restricting an abuser’s access to have or buy a gun is not included in the list of protections that can be granted in a temporary order.1

1 LA R.S. 46:2135

Next: I have a protective order against the abuser. Can s/he keep a gun or buy a new gun?
