Firearms Restraining Orders allow law enforcement officers and family members or household members to obtain a court order temporarily restricting an individual who is determined to be at risk of harming themselves or others from securing or maintaining access to firearms, ammunition, or firearm parts while respecting the individual’s constitutional rights and providing a judicial procedure for challenging the Order. The FRO may be an Emergency Order which will last 14 days or an order which will last one year.

An individual filing a petition (Petitioner) for an emergency or one-year FRO may be any one of the following:
  1. Law Enforcement Officer
  2. Spouse of the respondent
  3. Former Spouse of the respondent
  4. Parent
  5. Child or stepchild of the respondent
  6. Any other person related by blood or present marriage to the respondent
  7. A person with whom the respondent has a child in common
  8. A person who shares a common dwelling with the respondent
A FRO Petition may be filed in any county where the individual identified as posing a threat (Respondent) resides or any county where an incident occurred that involved the Respondent posing an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to the Respondent or another by having in his or her custody or control, or purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm, ammunition, or firearm parts that could be assembled to make an operable firearm.
