EspañolI do not have a protection order against the abuser, and they have not been convicted of a crime. Can they have a gun?
Nebraska state laws do not have restrictions on having a firearm other than those related to crimes and protection orders.1 For additional information on gun laws in Nebraska, you can go to the Giffords Law Center website.
If none of these restrictions apply to your situation, you can still make a plan for your safety. Sometimes, a safety plan might include leaving the area or going somewhere the abuser doesn’t know, like a domestic violence shelter. We have tips on our Safety Planning pages, and you can contact an advocate at your local domestic violence organization who might help you create a personalized plan. To find a shelter or an advocate at a local program, please visit our Nebraska Advocates and Shelters page.
Also, federal laws, which apply to all states, restrict an abuser’s right to have a gun under other circumstances. Go to Federal Gun Laws to get more information.
