As part of a protective order hearing, a judge can order the respondent to give to law enforcement any firearm in his/her possession and to not have/use any firearm while you have the temporary protective order if the abuse consisted of:

• the use or threatened use of a firearm by the respondent against you; or
• serious bodily harm to you, or a threat to cause serious bodily harm to you.¹

However, if there is no specific mention of a firearm restriction in the temporary order, then you may have to wait until you are given a permanent order.
