Existing law prohibits specified persons, including persons convicted of specified crimes, persons addicted to the use of any narcotic drug, certain probationers, and persons against whom specified restraining orders or injunctions apply, from possessing a firearm. Under existing law a violation of these provisions is justified if the person possessed the firearm no longer than was necessary to deliver or transport the firearm to a law enforcement agency for that agency's disposition according to law, if certain requirements are met. Existing law allows a firearm that is in the custody of a law enforcement agency to be sold or transferred to a licensed dealer if the law enforcement agency determines that the legal owner of the firearm is prohibited from possessing the firearm. Existing law requires that a person prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to certain provisions of law to be notified and provided with a form to facilitate the transfer of firearms. Existing law requires the Judicial Council to provide notice on all protective orders that the respondent is prohibited from possessing a firearm while the protective order is in effect and that the firearm shall be relinquished to a local law enforcement agency or a licensed firearms dealer.
