Bill	Firearms: restraining orders.	Existing law authorizes a court to issue a gun violence restraining order to prohibit a person from purchasing or possessing a firearm or ammunition for a period of one to 5 years, subject to renewal for additional one- to 5-year periods, if the subject of the petition poses a significant danger of self-harm or harm to another in the near future by having a firearm and the order is necessary to prevent personal injury to the subject of the petition or another. Existing law requires the court, in determining whether grounds for a gun violence restraining order exist, to consider evidence of, among other things, a recent threat of violence or act of violence by the subject directed toward another and a past history of those threats or acts within the last 12 months. Existing law also authorizes a court to consider the unlawful and reckless use, display, or brandishing of a firearm by the subject of the petition.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20232024	AB 2917	California AB 2917 (20232024)	bill	Firearms restraining orders	enacted	Zbur	6	23	8	2024-02-15	2024-09-24	openstates	ocd-bill/1fbc6bc9-4fd6-4d8e-bcdf-c5a892ec3b77	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB2917	abd864512263fc900472a70a8ce070fd66c39f23245d0f72bf64b17f25cf53be	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
